THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
i. INITIATION CEREMONY
From a Manual, not dated. The Opening Service and Initiation were
drafted by Uriah S. Stephens. The Master Workman's charge was
drafted by William Fennimore. The whole was prepared in Novem-
ber, 1869. Stephens's interpretation of the Initiation and Founding
Ceremonies is given in Powderly's Thirty Years of Labor, 170-180. 1

containing blank cards on a triangular Altar, red in color, in the centre
of the vestibule ; a Lance on the outside of the Inner Veil, or entrance
to the Sanctuary, over the wicket ; that the initiated may know that an
Assembly of the ***** are in session.
The M. W. will proceed to open an Assembly in due form as
follows :
Precisely at the hour for opening, the M. W. standing at the
Capital, shall give one rap and say, "All persons not entitled to sit
with us will please retire." After a short pause, he will say:
M. W. The proper Officer will satisfy himself that
all present are entitled to sit with us, and make the prop-
er record. . .
Initiation. [The assistant U. K. meets the candidate in the ves-
tibule.]
A. U. K. Do you believe in God, the Creator and
Universal Father of All?
Candidate. I do.
A. U. K. Do you obey the Universal Ordinance of
God, in gaining your bread by the sweat of your brow?
Candidate. I do.
A . U. K. Are you willing to take a solemn vow bind-
ing you to S. 0. and M. A.?
Candidate. I am.
A. U. K. Do you swear or affirm?
Candidate answers as to which way.
The M. W. has previously to their entering, formed the Assembly
ten] THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR ai
in a circle around the centre, leaving an opening in front of the W. F.
station, hands joined, arms crossed, right arm over left, palm down,
left arm under right, palm up. The U. K. halts at the opening and
says:
U. K. M. VV., Mr. , has satisfactorily answered
all inquiries and now desires to be covered with our
shield and admitted to fellowship in this noble and holy
Order.
After a short pause, and amid perfect silence, the M. W. says:
M. W . Place him at the centre and administer the
vow.
The U. K. places the candidate and friends at the centre; places
their left hands on the sacred Scriptures, fingers over, thumb under;
directs the candidate to grasp the * of his friend, the friend that of
the U. K., and the U. K. takes that of the candidate, the three form-
ing a triangle over and around the Altar, and all pronounce the Vow.
Affirmation, when preferred by the candidate, made in the same way.
I , do truly and solemnly swear, (or affirm)
that I will never reveal, by word, act, art, or implication,
positive or negative, to any person or persons whatsoever
the name or object of this Order, the name, or person of
any one a member thereof, its signs, mysteries, arts, priv-
ileges or benefits: now or hereafter, given to, or con-
ferred on me, any words spoken, acts done, or objects
intended; except in a legal, and authorized manner, or
by special permission of the Order granted to me.
I do truly and solemnly promise strictly to obey all
laws, regulations, solemn injunctions, and legal sum-
mons, that may be sent, said or handed to me.
I do truly and solemnly promise that I will to the best
of my ability, defend the life, interest, reputation and
family, of all true members of this Order, help and assist
all employed, and unemployed, unfortunate, or dis-
tressed Brothers to procure employ, secure just remuner-
ation, relieve their distress, and counsel others to aid
22 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
them, so that they and theirs may receive and enjoy the
just fruits of their labor, and exercise of their art.
All this I swear (or affirm), without reservation or
evasion, to do and perform until death, or honorable
discharge, (an accepted resignation), and bind myself
under the penalty of the scorn and neglect due to perjury,
and violated honor, as one unworthy of trust or assistance.
So help me God, and keep me steadfast unto the end.
Amen.
All respond Amen.
The M. W. gives one tap to seat the Assembly. The U. K. will,
after the Assembly is seated, proceed with the candidate to the Capital,
and report to the M. W.
U. K. M. W., Mr. , has taken the solemn
vow of S. O. and M. A.
M . W. That act has covered him with the shield of
our Brotherhood. Proceed with him to the Base of the
Sanctuary, there to receive the instructions of the W. F.
Arrived at the Base the U. K. introduces the candidate to the W.
F. thus:
U. K. W. F., by permission of this Assembly of true
*s and the command of the M. W., I present to you
Mr. , for instruction.
W. F. In the beginning God ordained that man
should labor, not as a curse, but as a blessing; not as a
punishment, but as a means of development, physically,
mentally, morally, and has set thereunto his seal of ap-
proval, in the rich increase and reward. By labor is
brought forth the kindly fruits of the earth in rich abun-
dance for our sustenance and comfort; by labor, (not
exhaustive) is promoted health of body and strength of
mind; and labor garners the priceless stores of wisdom
and knowledge. It is the "Philosopher's Stone," every-
thing it touches turns to gold. "Labor is noble and
ten] THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR 23
holy." To glorify God in its exercise, to defend it from
degradation, to divest it of the evils to body, mind and
estate, which ignorance and greed have imposed; to
rescue the toiler from the grasp of the selfish is a work
worthy of the noblest and best of our race. Without
your seeking, without even your knowledge, you have
been selected from among your fellows, for that exalted
purpose. Are you willing to accept the responsibility,
and trusting in God and the support of sworn true *s,
labor with what ability you possess, for the triumph of
these principles among men?
The candidate answers. If affirmatively, the W. F. will say to
the candidate and the U. K. :
W. F. We will now proceed with our friend to the
M.W.
And accompanying them to the M. W. says:
W. F. M. W., I present Mr. , as a fitting
and worthy person to receive the honor of fellowship
with this noble and holy Order.
The M. W. taking his hand will say:
M. W. On behalf of the toiling millions of earth, I
welcome you to this Sanctuary, dedicated to the service
of God, by serving humanity. Open and public asso-
ciations having failed, after a struggle of centuries, to
protect or advance the interest of labor, we have law-
fully constituted this Assembly. Hid from public view,
covered by an impenetrable veil of secrecy (not to pro-
mote or shield wrong doing) but to shield ourselves and
you, from persecution and wrong by men in our own
sphere and calling, as well as others out of it, when we
endeavor to secure the just reward of our toil. In using
this power of organized effort and co-operation, we but
imitate the example of capital heretofore set in number-
less instances. In all the multifarious branches of trade,
24 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
capital has its combinations, and whether intended or
not, it crushes the manly hopes of labor and tramples
poor humanity in the dust. We mean no conflict with
legitimate enterprise, no antagonism to necessary capi-
tal, but men in their haste and greed, blinded by self
interest, overlook the interests of others, and sometimes
even violate the rights of those they deem helpless. We
mean to uphold the dignity of labor, to affirm the no-
bility of all who live in accordance with the ordinance
of God, "in the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread."
We mean to create a healthy public opinion on the sub-
ject of labor, (the only creator of values or capital) and
the justice of its receiving a full, just share of the values
or capital it has created. We shall with all our strength,
support laws made to harmonize the interests of labor
and capital, for labor alone gives life and value to cap-
ital, and also those laws which tend to lighten the ex-
haustiveness of toil. We shall use every lawful and
honorable means to procure and retain employ for one
another, coupled with just and fair remuneration, and
should accident or misfortune befall one of our num-
ber, render such aid as lies within our power to give,
without inquiring his country or his creed ; and without
approving of general strikes among artisans, yet should
it become justly necessary to enjoin an oppressor, we will
protect and aid any of our number who thereby may
suffer loss, and as opportunity offers, extend a helping
hand to all branches of honorable toil. Such is but an
epitome of our objects. Your duties and obligations,
your privileges and benefits you will learn as you mingle
with, and become acquainted in, the noble and holy Or-
der of the *s of *. . . [Form of instruction in signs,
symbols, etc., omitted.]
2. FOUNDING CEREMONY
From a Manual, not dated. This ceremony wai prepared by Stephens
in the early seventies, and was used in manuscript form until 1878.
In that year the references to G.A. and L.A. were added, indicating
the General Assembly and Local Assembly. The Cypher was also
made in 1878 by the grand secretary, Charles H. Litchman. At the
first General Assembly, held at Reading, Pennsylvania, January 1-4,
1878, the Declaration of Principles of the Industrial Congress of
1874 (except sections 1, 13, and 14) was adopted as the Preamble to
the Constitution of the Knights of Labor. This preamble was after-
wards substituted in the Founding Ceremony for the religious feature*.

The initials stood for Secrecy, Obedience and Mutual Assistance, the num-
ber in the center being that of the Local Assembly. When a special meeting of
a Local Assembly was called it was done by imprinting the seal, in chalk, on
sidewalk or wall with initials above given left off. The number of the Local
Assembly would appear in the center and in place of the initials M.A., the
hour of the meeting.

4 . THE SPREAD OF SECRET ORDERS
Allan Pinkerton [Strikers, Communists, Tramps and Detectives, 88-89]
writing in 1878, said:
1 organization called the Knights of Labor has recently attracted some
attention in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. It is probably an amalgamation
of the Molly Maguirea and the Commune. In the vicinity of Scranton and
Wilkesbarre, two-thirds of the workingmen belong to it. . . It is certainly
true that the agitation in labor circles during the past few years, under
leadership of agents of the Commune, has caused the outgrowth of numerous
organizations, which, while working independently, have the same ultimate
object in view, and propose to accomplish the same object, namely ; the de-
struction of all government by the ballot, and if that shall fail, by force, when
the proper opportunity arrives. Among these are the Ancient Order of United
Workmen, The Junior Sons of '76, and the Universal Brotherhood. There are
scores more, but these are samples of them all."
Pinkerton reprints [pages 90-95] the ritual of the Universal Brotherhood.
John M. Davis, the editor of the National Labor Tribune, of Pittsburgh, from
whose paper the following notices are taken, was the leading Western organizer
of the Knights of Labor. Beginning in 1877, the Tribune added the five stars
to the list of organizations for which it was the official organ. The rapid
growth of this order after 1875 led to the first national delegate meeting, at
Reading, Pennsylvania, January 1-4, 1878. At this meeting the General As-
sembly was founded and a constitution was framed. The delegates decided
against publicity; but at the second regular session, in 1879, assemblies were
permitted to make the name public after April x, 1879.
National Labor Tribune, March 13, 1875, p. 1, col. 5.
The organization of the various trades into a secret
labor organization has been conducted in the east to very
satisfactory results. In Philadelphia all trades are
united. They are able to turn out twenty thousand at
twenty-four hours' notice without public notice. The
principles of the organization are such as to allow all
who toil in it, without reference to craft. It is the latest
and most successful effort of labor to combine for its
own defense. The obligation of secrecy gives it per-
manency and safety. The well known Archbishop
Wood, of Philadelphia, gives it his sanction.
Nothing is required but that a man earns his living
by labor, and desires to unite with his fellow men for
34 A MERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
their common good. The organization has spread
through several eastern cities, and sweeps in all who
have any desire to see labor bettered.
We understand it is coming to Pittsburgh. If so, we
heartily welcome it. In it, men of all crafts, and all
shades of opinion and belief can meet, and stand on one
common platform for one common purpose. In it all
men come back to the first pure and simple principles
and ideas of republican government as it was handed us
by Hamilton, Washington and Adams, and all the co-
lonial patriots. Our unions are grand and powerful
agencies for the protection of our labor, but that is all.
This union of unions, is designed to reach farther, and
higher, and deeper, and take hold of and grapple with
questions, and interests, and difficulties which our trades'
unions cannot by its nature handle. We must make so-
cial machinery to suit the times. This proposed organ-
ization is not a talking union, but a working one. It is
for action, and nothing else. It means business.
National Labor Tribune, April 24, 1875, p. 2, col. 2.
When men cannot assert their rights and resist a wrong
perpetrated by an employer, for fear of discharge, it is
time to devise some plan for the better protection of our
labor.
When men are persecuted for unionism, when they
are robbed of the true value of their labor, when they
feel it unsafe to speak in their interest, it is time to look
farther and deeper for some means of defense.
When monopolies become stronger than the law, when
legislatures become the servants of monopolies, when
corporations can successfully bid defiance to public
good and trample on individual rights it is time for the
people to come together to erect defenses for personal
rights and public safety.
When the commercial interests combine to exact the
ten] THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR 35
greatest share of profits of labor and give labor the
least, even to the verge of starvation, when all attempts
of labor to openly oppose and defeat the efforts of these
combinations are made the pretext for still further op-
pression and persecution, it is time for the people to
unite together for their individual and common safe-
ty. . . These considerations have prompted men in
all trades to have recourse to secret organization, not for
wrong doing, but to bring about a better state of affairs.
We have noticed from time to time the growth of one
of the most powerful of these orders. It is especially
deserving of notice and confidence as being exclusively
composed of workingmen. Its numbers and the harmony
and unity produced entitle it to our attention. It is rap-
idly extending and will, ere long, number its hundreds
of thousands, all guided by one common impulse, and
for one common end. It numbers in its ranks our best
men. In it all are equal. In it all are heard, respected
and benefited. We learn that it is rapidly becoming a
national organization. Cost of membership is little, to
let in all good men. If ever an order turned bad men
into good ones this one does. If there is a spark of man-
hood in a man this order will kindle it into a flame of
genial warmth for all who toil. We are glad to see the
spread of this order. Its objects are noble and holy. It
makes every man in it purer and better. It widens his
comprehension, lifts his conceptions, widens his under-
standing, deepens his affections and ennobles his whole
nature. The order is moving westward. It has a solid
footing in Pittsburgh, at which place officers are re-
ceiving applications for its extension further west. All
enquiries receive proper attention, but from the nature
of the order the replies cannot be as full as some would
like. To such we say enter the holy of holies and know
all.

FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS
I. ILLINOIS FARMERS, 1858
Periam, J. The Grounds%oell (Chicago, 1874), 104-206. In aelecting
and editing the documents of this chapter, we have been assisted by
Dr. John Lee Coulter a of the Bureau of the Census, Washington,
D.C., and Dr. Solon Buck * of the University of Illinois. The follow-
ing platform waa adopted at Centralis, Illinois, on September 15, 1858.
We believe that the time has come when the produc-
ing classes should assert, not only their independence,
but their supremacy; that non-producers can not be re-
lied upon as guarantees of fairness; and that laws en-
acted and administered by lawyers are not a true stand-
ard of popular sentiment.
We believe that a general application to commerce of
the principle that the majority should rule, would in-
crease the income and diminish the outlay of producers,
and, at the same time, elevate the standard of mercantile
morality.
We believe that the producer of a commodity and the
purchaser of it should, together, have more voice in
fixing its price than he who simply carries it from one
to the other.
We believe that the true method of guarding against
commercial revulsions is to bring the producer and con-
sumer as near together as possible, thus diminishing the
alarming number and the more alarming power of non-
producers.
We believe that in union there is strength, and that in

union alone can the necessarily isolated condition of
farmers be so strengthened as to enable them to cope, on
equal terms, with men whose callings are, in their very
nature, a permanent and self-created combination of in-
terests.
We believe that system of commerce to be the best
which transacts the most business, with the least tax on
production, and which, instead of being a master, is
merely a servant.
We believe that good prices are as necessary to the
prosperity of farmers as good crops, and, in order to
create such a power as to insure as much uniformity in
prices as in products, farmers must keep out of debt;
and that, in order to keep out of debt, they must pay for
what they buy and exact the same from others.
Declaration of Principles. These truths we hold
to be self-evident, that, as production both precedes' bar-
ter and employs more labor and capital, it is more
worthy the care and attention of governmente and of in-
dividuals; that in the honorable transaction of a legiti-
mate business there is no necessity for secret cost-marks ;
that, in all well-regulated communities, there should be
the smallest possible number of non-producers that is
necessary to the welfare of the human race; that labor
and capital employed in agriculture should receive as
much reward as labor and capital employed in any
other pursuit; that, as the exchanger is merely an agent
between the producer and consumer, he should not have
a chief voice in the establishment of prices; that the in-
terests of agriculture and of commerce can only be con-
sidered as identical when each has an equal share in
regulating barter; and that the principal road to honor
and distinction, in this country, should lead through
productive industry.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 41
Plan of Operations. First. The formation of
Farmers' Clubs wherever practical, the object of which
shall be to produce concert of action on all matters con-
nected with their interests.
Second. The establishment, as far as possible, of the
ready pay system in all pecuniary transactions.
Third. The formation of wholesale purchasing and
selling agencies in the great centers of commerce, so that
producers may, in a great measure, have it in their
power to save the profits of retailers.
Fourth. The organization of such a power as to in-
sure the creation of a national agricultural bureau, the
main object of which shall be an annual or semi-annual
census of all our national products, and the collection
and dissemination of valuable seeds, plants, and facts.
Fifth. The election of producers to all places of pub-
lic trust and honor the general rule, and the election of
non-producers the exception.
2. ILLINOIS FARMERS, 1869-1873
(a) THE FIRST BLOOMINGTON CONVENTION, 1869
(1) The Call.
Periam, J. The Groundpwell, 225-227. This call was sent out in March,
1869, by H. C. Wheeler, a farmer, of Du Page County, Illinois, who
was afterwards a member of the legislature. The meeting was held
at Bloomington, Illinois, April 20, 1869.
To the Farmers of the Northwest: Will you
permit a working farmer, whose entire interest is iden-
tified with yours, to address to you a word of warning?
A crisis in our affairs is approaching, and dangers
threaten.
You are aware that the price of many of our leading
staples is so low that they can not be transported to the
markets of Europe, or even to our own seaboard, and
leave a margin for profits, by reason of the excessive
rates of transportation.
During the war but little attention was given to the
great increase in the price of freights, as the price of
produce was proportionately high; but we look in vain
for any abatement, now that we are obliged to accept less
than half the former prices for much that we raise.
We look in vain for any diminution in the carrying
rates, to correspond with the rapidly-declining prices
of the means of living, and of materials for constructing
boats, cars, engines, and track; but, on the other hand,
we see a total ignoring of that rule of reciprocity be-
tween the carrying and producing interests which pre-
vails in every other department of trade and commerce.
Does it not behoove us, then, to inquire earnestly how
long we can stand this descending scale on the one
FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 43
hand, and the ascending on the other, and which party
must inevitably and speedily go to the wall?
I by no means counsel hostility to the carrying inter-
est-it is one of the producer's best friends; but, like the
fire that cooks our food and warms our dwelling, it may
also become the hardest of masters. The fire fiend
laughs as he escapes from our control, and in an hour
licks up and sweeps away the accumulations of years of
toil.
As we cherish the fire fiend, so we welcome the clangor
of the carrier fiend as he approaches our dwellings,
opening up communication with the busy marts of trade.
But it needs no great stretch of imagination to hear
also the each! each! cachinations of the carrier fiend as
he speeds beyond our reach, and leaving no alternative
but compliance with his exorbitant demands.
Many of us are not aware of the gigantic proportions
the carrying interest is assuming. Less than forty years
since the first railroad fire was kindled on this continent,
but which now, like a mighty conflagration, is crackling
and roaring over every prairie and through every moun-
tain gorge. The first year produced fifteen miles; the
last, five thousand.
On the same mammoth scale goes on the work of or-
ganization and direction. By the use of almost unlimit-
ed means, it enlists in its service the finest talents of the
land as officers, attorneys, agents, and lobbyists; gives
free passes and splendid entertainments to the repre-
sentatives of the people; and even transports whole
legislatures into exceeding high mountains, showing
them the kingdoms of the world, with lavish promises of
reward for fealty and support: witness its land grants
and franchises secured from the powers that be, such as
no similar interest ever acquired even in the Old World.
44 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
In Europe every corporation returns its franchises to
the Crown within a specified time, while here their titles
are more secure than the farmers' warranty deeds.
Do you say that you are out of debt, and can stop pro-
ducing when it does not pay? I tell you, my friends,
that the carrying interest, with its present momentum
unchecked, will soon acquire the power to tax your un-
incumbered possessions into leaseholds, and you and me
into tenants at will.
I fancy I hear the response: "These things are so,
but what can we do?" Rather, my friends, what can we
not do? What power can withstand the combined and
concentrated force of the producing interest of this Re-
public? But what avails our strength if, like Poly-
phemus in the fable, we are unable to use it for want of
eyesight; or, like a mighty army without discipline,
every man fighting on his own hook; or, worse, reposing
in fancied security while Delilahs of the enemy have well
nigh shorn away the last lock of strength? In this re-
spect we constitute a solitary exception, every other in-
terest having long since protected itself by union and
organization.
As a measure calculated to bring all interested, as it
were, within speaking distance, and as a stepping stone
to an efficient organization, I propose that the farmers
of the great north-west concentrate their efforts, power,
and means, as the great transportation companies have
done theirs, and accomplish something, instead of frit-
tering away their efforts in doing nothing.
And, to this end, I suggest a convention of those op-
posed to the present tendency to monopoly and extor-
tionate charges by our transportation companies, to meet
at Bloomington, Illinois, on the twentieth day of April
next, for the purpose of discussion, and the appointment
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 45
of a committee to raise funds to be expended in the em-
ployment of the highest order of legal talent, to put in
form of report and argument an exposition of the rights,
wrongs, interests, and injuries (with their remedies) of
the producing masses of the northwest, and lay it before
the authorities of each state and of the general govern-
ment. Congress is now in session, and the constitutional
convention of this state will then again be convened.
Farmers, now is the time for action 1
(2) The Resolutions.
Peri am, J. The Groundswell, 229-230.
This Convention declares, First: That the present
rates of taxation and transportation are unreasonable
and oppressive, and ought to be reduced.
Second: That our legal rights to transportation and
market ought to be clearly set forth and defined.
Third: That if there be any legal remedy under ex-
isting laws for the wrongs we suffer, such remedy ought
to be ascertained and enforced.
Fourth: That, if there be no such remedy, measures
should be taken to secure one by appropriate legislation.
Fifth: That statistics should be collected and pub-
lished to show the relation of north-western products to
those of the rest of the country.
Sixth : That nothing can be accomplished for the en-
forcement of our rights, and the redress of our wrongs,
without an efficient organization on the well-known
principles that give the great corporations such tre-
mendous power.
Seventh : That, with honest pay for honest labor, and
compensation commensurate with great service, we can
secure the assistance and support of the highest order of
learning, ability, and skill.
Eighth : That this Convention should appoint a com-
46 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
missioner of agricultural and carrying statistics, to pre-
pare and publish, with the aid of eminent counsel,
a report of the products of the north-west, the rights to
market and transportation, and the remedies available
for existing wrongs, the expenses thereof to be defrayed
by subscription price for such report.
(b) ILLINOIS STATE FARMERS' ASSOCIATION, 1873
(1) Preliminary Convention, Kewanee — Resolutions.
Peri am, J. The Groundsiuell, 23 6, 237. The dates of the convention
were October 16 and 17, 1872. This association was launched as a
permanent organization January 15, 1873, at the second Bloomington
convention. Article 11 of the constitution shows the purpose of the
association to be "the promotion of the moral, intellectual, social, and
pecuniary welfare of the farmers of Illinois."
RESOLVED, that the agricultural interests of this coun-
try are the primary source of its growth, wealth, and
prosperity; and that the protection and development of
these are essential to the prosperity of every related in-
dustry, and also of every other vocation or business.
RESOLVED, that the immediate objects and purposes of
the convention should be to devise some means, or sys-
tem of means, to cheapen the process of production, and
lessen the expense of transportation.
Resolved, that the success of co-operative effort, as
illustrated in the accumulation of capital for the carry-
ing forward of immense business enterprises; in the
combination of workingmen for the increase of wages,
or the restriction of the hours of labor; in the formation
of rings for controlling the price of agricultural or man-
ufactured products, and for "bulling" or "bearing" the
markets of every kind; and in the thorough and efficient
organization of political parties for partisan ends, should
teach the farmer the lesson, both of its efficiency and its
adaptation to the particular needs, if applied with in-
telligence and wisdom.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 47
Resolved, that it is the duty of Farmers' Clubs, and
similar organizations, to put forth their best efforts for
extending and multiplying these organizations, until
they shall compass the industrial interest of the entire
west.
Resolved, that this convention regards with favor the
growth and prosperity of the organization called Pa-
trons of Husbandry, and accept the evidences of its bene-
fits and efficiency with hopeful expectations of its future
usefulness.
RESOLVED, that the destruction of Canada thistles and
noxious weeds is a matter of vital importance to the agri-
cultural interests of the west; and this convention would
commend the action of the legislature of Illinois in its
efforts to accomplish this object.
Resolved, that the strength or weakness of the Rail-
road Law, so-called, should be determined by its thor-
ough trial and enforcement; and this convention would
demand additional legislation on the subject, if required.
RESOLVED, that this convention appoint a State Cen-
tral Committee of one, and a committee of one from
each county, whose duties shall be to act as a medium of
communication between the various farmers' organiza-
tions.
RESOLVED, that the convention return a vote of thanks
to the citizens of Kewanee and the Wethersfield Farm-
ers' Club, for the very generous hospitality extended to
the members of this convention ; and that especial thanks
are due the aforesaid Club for inaugurating and carry-
ing to so successful an issue this convention.
(2) Call for the Second Bloomington Convention.
Periam, J. The Grounds-well, 243, 244.
Farmers' Convention. "Equal and exact justice to
all; special privileges to none." The undersigned, the
48 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
Executive Committee appointed by the convention of
delegates from Farmers' Clubs, held at Kewanee, Oct.
1 6th and 17th, 1872, in pursuance of the duties assigned
them, do hereby invite each Farmers' Club, Grange, or
other agricultural, horticultural, or industrial associa-
tion of the State of Illinois, to send delegates for every
thirty-three members, and fraction in excess of that num-
ber (provided, that every organization shall be entitled
to at least one delegate), to an Illinois Farmers' State
Convention, to be held in the City of Bloomington,
Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 15 and 16, 1873, com-
mencing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, with three sessions
each day-at 9 a.m., 2 p.m., and 7 p.m.
The purpose of said convention is to perfect the or-
ganization made at Kewanee, by the formation of a
State Farmers' Association for said delegates, adoption
of a constitution, and for securing the organization and
representation of associations in every county, and, if
possible, in every township, of the state; to discuss and
insist upon reform in railway transportation, the sale of
agricultural implements, the sale of farm products by
commission merchants, and such other abuses as have
grown up in our midst, and are now taxing and im-
poverishing producers and consumers; and to transact
such other business as may be brought before the Con-
vention.

tee (page 237).]
(j) Resolutions, Second Bloomington Convention, 1873.
Periam, J. The Groundsivell, 258-262.
[By Committee on Resolutions] WHEREAS, the con-
stitution of Illinois requires the legislature to pass laws
to correct abuses and prevent unjust discrimination and
extortion by railroads; and, whereas, the legislature has
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 49
complied with this provision of the constitution; and,
whereas, the railroads in the State of Illinois stand in
open defiance of the laws, by charging rates greatly in
excess of what the laws allow, and by unjust discrimina-
tions and extortions; and, whereas, these exactions and
extortions bear most heavily upon the producing class-
es; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that this convention of farmers and pro-
ducers insist upon the enforcement of these laws.
Resolved, that in obedience to the universal law that
the creature is not above the creator, we declare our un-
alterable convfction that all corporations are subject to
regulation by law.
Resolved, that we call upon every department of the
state government- the executive, legislative, and judi-
cial -in their joint and several capacities, to execute the
constitution and laws now in force; and if amendments
or new laws are needed to enforce obedience, we call
for their speedy enactment.
Resolved, that cheap transportation is of vital inter-
est to the west, and that every combination to increase
the price above what is just and legitimate is a conspiracy
against the rights of the people, and a robbery which we
loudly protest against.
Resolved, that in the efforts of our officers to execute
the laws in question, no narrow policy should be pur-
sued by the legislature, but that the magnitude of the
matter at stake demands that ample appropriations be
made, to enable those in charge of the object to act with
vigor and effect.
RESOLVED, that the power of this, and all local organ-
izations, should be wielded at the ballot-box by the elec-
tion to all offices, from highest to lowest -legislative, ex-
ecutive, and judicial -of such, and only such, persons as
5 o A MERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
sympathize with us in this movement, and believe, as
we do, that there is a rightful remedy for this wrong,
and that it can and must be enforced ; and to this end we
pledge our votes at all elections where they will have a
bearing against the wrong in question.
Resolved, that the late decision in the McLean Coun-
ty Circuit Court, sustaining the constitutionality of our
railroad law, is sound, and we hail it with satisfaction.
RESOLVED, that persons traveling upon the railroads
of the state, having tendered to the conductor the legal
fare, are in line of their duty, and as they have complied
with all their legal obligations, are entitled to the pro-
tection of the civil power of the state ; and any conductor
or other officers or employee of the road attempting to
disturb any such person, or eject him from the cars, are
violators of the peace and dignity of the state, and should
be punished by exemplary penalties. . .
[Mr. Carter, from the Committee on Resolutions,
submitted a report, as follows:]
RESOLVED, that we recommend to our legislature the
enactment of a law making it a misdemeanor for any
county or state officer to accept a free pass from any rail-
road, while holding office.
Resolved, that we view with favor the opening of
feasible water communications, and all propositions to
so improve and enlarge the great water line of the lakes
and the St. Lawrence as to practically bring tide water
to Chicago; and, for this purpose, completing the Illi-
nois river improvement, and the extension of the canal
to Rock Island, so as to connect the vast interior river
system with the ocean commerce at our great commercial
city, meet our approbation.
RESOLVED, that it is the sense of this convention that,
in the appointment of railroad and warehouse commis-
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 51
sioners, at least one of the members of that commission
should be a man whose business interests, sympathies,
and knowledge of the experiences and wants of the
farmer class, should fairly constitute him a representa-
tive man of that class, and who shall be so recommended
by them.
Resolved, that in order to accomplish the ends ar-
rived at by this convention, we earnestly recommend
the organization of the farmers throughout the state
into clubs, and granges of Patrons of Husbandry.
[The following resolution was offered and adopted:]
Resolved, that this convention appoint Capt. J. H.
Rowell and R. W. Benjamin to proceed to our legis-
lature, and procure an act condemning all railroads that
are running in violation of the law, and we further
recommend that a commission be appointed to take
charge of such road or roads, and run them in compli-
ance with the law.
RESOLVED, that this convention hails with joy and
pleasure the late action taken in Congress by representa-
tives Shellabarger, of Ohio, and Hawley, of Illinois, as
the harbinger of better things to come.
[The following miscellaneous resolutions were of-
fered, and referred to the committee on resolutions:]
RESOLVED, that the secretary of this convention be in-
structed to forward to Hons. Shellabarger, of Ohio, and
Hawley, of Illinois, and to the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, copies
of the resolutions of this convention, with request that
they be laid before the respective houses.
Resolved, that the names of the persons composing
the meeting at Kewanee, on the 15th and 16th of Octo-
ber, 1872, be inscribed on a suitable tablet, for permanent
preservation by this society.

AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
RESOLVED, that in view of the power of the press, this
convention urge upon the Farmers' Clubs over this state,
the great importance of reporting their proceedings to
their local papers, and, so far as practicable, to the pa-
pers having a state circulation.
RESOLVED, that the legislature of this state be requested
to instruct our senators, and request our representatives
in Congress, in view of the depressed condition of the
agricultural interests of this state and all others depend-
ent thereon, except that of railway transactions, to in-
sist upon the utmost economy in appropriations and
frugality in expenditure of national moneys consonant
with the necessities of the country.
RESOLVED, that we are in favor of removing the duties
on iron, lumber, and salt.
Resolved, that farmers buy no implements of those
manufacturers or their agents who have entered into
any conspiracy agreeing not to sell their implements to
farmer's associations.
RESOLVED, that this convention respectfully call the
attention of the General Assembly to the bill introduced
by Senator Vaughn, of Knox County, in 1871, affixing
reasonable maximum rates of freights on railroads, and
that we urge the immediate passage of that or some sim-
ilar bill. . .
(4) Springfield Convention, April 2, 1873.
Periam, J. The Groundswell, 286-289.
. . . The committee appointed to draft resolu-
tions submitted the following:
[ 1 ] RESOLVED, by the farmers of Illinois in mass meet-
ing assembled, that all chartered monopolies, not reg-
ulated and controlled by law, have proved in that re-
spect detrimental to the public prosperity, corrupting
in their management, and dangerous to republican in-
stitutions.

FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 55
[2] RESOLVED, that the railways of the world, except
in those countries where they have been held under the
strict regulation and supervision of the government,
have proved themselves arbitrary, extortionate, and as
opposed to free institutions and free commerce between
states as were the feudal barons of the middle ages.
[3] Resolved, that we hold, declare, and resolve that
this despotism, which defies our laws, plunders our ship-
pers, impoverishes our people, and corrupts our govern-
ment, shall be subdued and made to subserve the public
interest at whatever cost.
[4] Resolved, that we believe the state did not and
could not confer any of its sovereign power upon any
corporation, and that now is the most favorable time to
settle the question, so that it may never be hereafter mis-
understood that a state can not create a corporation it
can not thereafter control.
[5] RESOLVED, that in view of the present extortions,
we look with alarm upon the future of an interest which
can combine in the hands of a few men a capital of nearly
$250,000,000, and we believe it essential to the prosper-
ity of all classes that this contest continue until these
corporations acknowledge the supremacy of law.
[6] RESOLVED, that we regard it as the undoubted
power, and the imperative duty of the legislature, to pass
laws fixing reasonable maximum rates for freight and
passengers, without classification of roads, and that we
urge upon our General Assembly the passage of such
laws.
[7] RESOLVED, that the existing statute, providing for
a classification of railroads with a view to adjusting a
tariff of charges according to the gross amount of earn-
ings, is a delusion and a snare, and is so framed that the
railroads are able to classify themselves, and that it
ought to be carefully modified or repealed.
56 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
[8] RESOLVED, that inasmuch as the Supreme Court
has clearly pointed out the way to reach unjust discrim-
inations made by the railroads of this state, we can see
no reason for delay on the part of the legislature in en-
acting the necessary laws on the subject, and we urge
immediate action thereon.
[9] Resolved, that we urge the passage of a bill en-
forcing the principle that railroads are public highways,
and requiring railroads to make connections with all
roads whose tracks meet or cross their own, and to re-
ceive and transmit cars and trains offered over their
roads at reasonable maximum rates, whether offered at
such crossings, or at stations along their roads, and em-
powering the making of connections by municipal cor-
porations for that purpose, and for the public use.
[10] Resolved, that we heartily indorse the action
of the General Assembly looking to the enforcement of
the performance of their duties by monopolies as com-
mon carriers; and that, in addition thereto, we believe
that railroads should be required to carry all freight
and passengers offered from the country through which
they pass, and not permitted to limit the amount of their
business and destroy its natural increase.
[11] RESOLVED, that the constitution and laws of Illi-
nois are as binding upon railroad corporations as upon
the citizens, and that the state must require obedience to
the law from all alike, whether the same be deemed
constitutional or not by the parties affected, until re-
pealed or declared unconstitutional.
[12] RESOLVED, that we indorse most fully the action
of those who tender legal rates of fare upon the railroads,
and refuse to pay more; and that it is the duty of the
legislature to provide by law for the defense by the State
of Illinois of suits commenced, or that hereafter may be
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 57
commenced, by railroad companies against individuals
who have in good faith insisted, or hereafter may insist,
upon the right to ride on railroads at legal rates.
[13] RESOLVED, that the presentation of railroad
passes to our legislators, whatever may be the spirit and
intent with which they are accepted, are demoralizing
in their influence ; and we look to our legislature, now in
session, to rise above personal considerations of pecuni-
ary interest or convenience, and to pass a law making it
a misdemeanor for any Senator, or other state or county
officers, to accept any railroad pass, knowing, as we do,
that the people look upon the acceptance of these passes
with decided and almost universal disapprobation. . .
WHEREAS, the constitution of 1848, Article X, pro-
hibits the legislature from granting special railroad
charters in the following words: "And corporations not
possessing banking powers or privileges, may be formed
under general law, but shall not be created by special
acts, except for municipal purposes; and in cases where,
in the judgment of the General Assembly, the objects
of the corporation can not be attained under general
laws," therefore,
[14] RESOLVED, that it is extremely doubtful whether
any railroad charter granted since April 1, 1848, by the
legislature of Illinois is of any validity, and that the
vested rights of railroad monopolies in this state exist
only by assumption of the monopolies and the sufferance
of the people. . .
WHEREAS, the constitution of 1870, Article XI, Sec-
tion 13, prohibits any railroad company from issuing
watered stock, in these words: "No railroad corpora-
tion shall issue any stock or bonds except for money,
labor, or property actually received and applied to the
purposes for which such corporation was created; and
58 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
all stock, dividends, and other fictitious increase of the
capital, stock, or indebtedness of any such corporation
shall be void. The capital stock of no railroad corpora-
tion shall be increased for any purpose, except upon giv-
ing sixty days' public notice in such manner as may be
provided by law;" and, whereas, this article of the con-
stitution has probably been violated by nearly all the
railroad companies in the state; therefore,
[15] RESOLVED, that it is the duty of the railroad com-
missioners to look carefully into this matter, and to com-
mence proceedings in all clear cases by quo warranto, or
otherwise, against all railroad companies which have
disregarded this important provision of the organic law
of the state.
[16] RESOLVED, that we regard the improvement of
the Illinois River as not sectional, but of great im-
portance ; and we request the members of the House of
Representatives to vote for the bill now pending for the
improvement of that river, as it will give our state ab-
solutely into the hands of the people.
[17] Resolved, that we demand of Congress a repeal
of all laws preventing the competition of small vessels,
which may choose to engage in the carrying trade on our
inland lakes between ports in the United States, without
regard to nationality.
[ 1 8] RESOLVED, that we are in favor of the immediate
repeal of the protective duties on iron, steel, lumber, and
all materials which enter into the construction of rail-
road cars, steamships, sailing vessels, agricultural im-
plements, etc., and that we urge upon Congress immedi-
ate action for this purpose, that cheap railroads and
cheap ships are necessary to cheap freights; and that we
invite the railroad companies to co-operate with us to
that end.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 59
[The first twelve resolutions were passed unanimous-
ly, as also were numbers fourteen, fifteen, and seven-
teen. Number thirteen was passed only after a heated
debate. A clause was added which provided that offi-
cers should receive no pay except during the time actual-
ly employed. Number sixteen was laid on the tabic
amid much excitement. Number eighteen was objected
to as being a side issue, but was declared carried by the
chair. Other resolutions adopted were: requesting
the legislature to pass a railroad law before it adjourned ;
stating that the practice of legislators voting on ques-
tions in which they were directly interested, was contrary
to public morals ; stating that one of the necessary meas-
ures of railroad reform was (a) that the laws which
made the stocks of railroad corporations personal prop-
erty, be repealed, and (b) that the law should be so
amended as to withdraw such stock from speculation
and to give to it the permanency and certainty of owner-
ship of the railroads themselves; and demanding that
railroads be no longer assessed taxes at less than one-
tenth of their value ; recommending that farmers keep a
farm expense account, so that the actual cost of produc-
tion may be ascertained and made public]
(5) Princeton Convention, June, 1873 - Resolutions.
Periam, J. The Groundswell, 313, 314.
Resolved, that the provisions of the constitution of
1870, of the State of Illinois, in regard to railroads, are,
equally with the other provisions of the constitution, the
supreme law of the state, and our legislature should pro-
vide the necessary legislation to execute such provisions,
and our courts should sustain and adopt the same.
RESOLVED, that the charters of the railroads in this
state are not contracts in the sense that they are para-
mount to the constitution and laws of this state, and that
60 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
the provisions of the constitution of the state in regard to
railroads, and necessary legislation to enforce the same,
are not repugnant to the constitution of the United States.
RESOLVED, that the railroads in this state are public
highways, and their operators common carriers, and the
General Assembly, as required by the constitution of
this state, should pass laws establishing reasonable max-
imum rates of charge for the transportation of passen-
gers and freight on the different railroads in this state,
and should also pass laws to correct abuses and to define
and prevent extortion in the rate of freight and pas-
senger tariffs on such roads ; and such legislation should
be sustained and enforced by the judiciary of the state.
RESOLVED, that we will support no man for office who
is not in accordance with the sentiments of these resolu-
tions; and that we recommend to the anti-monopolists
of this state to nominate such candidates for Supreme
and Circuit Judges as are pledged to sustain the consti-
tution, and laws of this state in accordance therewith.
3 . THE KANSAS FARMERS' CO-OPERATIVE
ASSOCIATION, 1873
Periam, J. Tht Grounds%uell, 274-279. The farmers of Kansas were
actively engaged in agitation and demands for improvement during
this period. On March 26, 1873, a large convention was held at
Topeka, at which the Farmers' Cooperative Association of the State
of Kansas was organized. The following preamble was adopted,
which, with Article u of the Constitution, will show the purpose of
the convention.
PREAMBLE. As a means of obtaining a more perfect
uniformity of action among the farmers of the state, in
order that we may secure a more equal division of the
profits arising from the different vocations of life, of
diminishing the unreasonable transportation tariff now
charged by railroad companies, and of breaking down
monopolies of every character, we, whose names are
hereto subscribed, do pledge ourselves to sustain the fol-
lowing constitution and by-laws: . . .
Article ii. The objects of this association shall be
the collection of statistics relative to the products of the
state, their amount, cost, and value; to assist the farmers
in securing just compensation for their labor; to co-oper-
ate with similar organizations in other states in procur-
ing cheap transportation and remunerative prices for
surplus products, and act generally in the interest of the
producing class.
[The following three resolutions also show the atti-
tude of the delegates:]
Resolved, that the act relating to the collection of
statistics and industries, approved March 6, 1873, and
an act relating to District and County Agricultural So-
cieties and Farmers' Clubs, approved March 6, 1873,
62 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
meet with the approval of this convention, so far as they
go in the accomplishment of the objects sought by this
convention.
RESOLVED, that the Farmers' Co-operative Association
of the State of Kansas co-operate with the State Board
of Agriculture, and the State organization of the Pa-
trons of Husbandry. . .
RESOLVED, that it is the sense of this convention that
the farmers of Kansas, while they are ready to denounce
in unmeasured terms every monopoly that strikes at their
interests in the shape of robbery and oppression, are
equally ready to admit any and all wrongs and errors of
their own that have brought them into the dilemma
which all complain of to-day.
[Various resolutions were submitted and referred to
a committee, which, subsequently, reported the follow-
ing:]
RESOLVED, that organization is the great want of the
producing classes at the present time, and we recommend
every farmer in the state to become a member of some
Farmers' Club, Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, or
other local organization.
Resolved, that the taxes assessed and charged upon
the people, both by national, state, and local govern-
ments, are oppressive and unjust, and vast sums of money
are collected far beyond the needs of an economical ad-
ministration of government.
RESOLVED, that we respectfully request our senators
and representatives in Congress to vote for, and secure,
an amendment to the tariff laws of the United States, so
that salt and lumber shall be placed on the free list, and
that there shall be made a material reduction of the
duty on iron, and that such articles as do not pay the cost
of collection be also placed on the free list.
ten] FARMERS* ORGANIZATIONS 63
RESOLVED, that we demand that the legislature of our
state shall pass a law limiting railroad freight and fares
to a just and fair sum, and that unjust discriminations
against local freights be prohibited.
RESOLVED, that the act passed by the last legislature,
exempting bonds, notes, mortgages, and judgments from
taxation, is unjust, oppressive, and a palpable violation
of our state constitution, and we call upon all assessors
and the county boards to see that said securities are taxed
at their fair value. . .
[By Mr. Lines, as substitute for resolution on railroad
freights:]
That we earnestly request the legislature of our state,
at its next session, to enact a law regulating freights and
fares upon our railroads upon a basis of justice ; and that
we further request our members in Congress to urge the
favorable action of that body, where the same power
exists beyond all doubt, to the same end, and, if need be,
to construct national highways at the expense of the
government. [Adopted.]
4 . THE SECOND NATIONAL AGRICULTUR-
AL CONGRESS, 1873
Periam, J. The Groundsviell, 335-337. Meanwhile other farmers' organ-
izations in other states were taking action similar to that in Illinois
and Kansas. The following resolutions adopted by the Second Na-
tional Agricultural Congress held at Indianapolis, May 28, 1873, will
show their attitude.
[By Committee on the Railway System] Whereas,
we recognize the railways of the country as an effectual
means of developing its agricultural resources, and as
having an interest, common and inseparable, with the
country through which they pass ; and, whereas, we have
in times past fostered and aided them by liberal charters
and concessions, made by public and private parties,
and still desire to encourage further development of the
railway system; therefore,
Resolved, that a fair degree of reciprocity would
suggest that corporations having a common interest and
public aid, should, in their turn, endeavor to subserve
the interest of the country through which they pass, by
charging fair rates of freights, and by the equitable and
just treatment of all localities along their lines.
RESOLVED, that, on the contrary, railroad corporations
in many instances have been exorbitant in their charges,
have discriminated unjustly between localities, and have
failed to respond to the generous grants of powers and
moneys that have been given them by our national and
state governments.
Resolved, that the system adopted and now practiced
in the building of railroads, viz: the soliciting of stock
subscriptions from individuals, corporations, and coun-
ties, and after receiving these subsidies to depress the
FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 65
value of said stock by forcing it upon the market and
depreciating its value to such an extent as to enable a few
speculators to secure control of the road, thereby depriv-
ing those who aid in its construction of all voice in its
management; increasing the cost four or five times above
the amount it would have cost if those managing it in the
outset had had the foresight to have the funds on hand
at the start to build and equip said road; then requiring
the producer and shipper to pay dividends upon the
fictitious cost by charging excessive freight and passen-
ger tariffs — operates most injuriously to the best inter-
ests of the farming class, and calls loudly for reform
and restraint by adequate legislation.
Resolved, that we recommend all farmers to with-
hold their voices and their aid from railway corpora-
tions, unless it be fully conceded and agreed that cor-
porations so aided are subject to regulation by the power
incorporating them, and will not, after receiving the
advantages conferred by the public authority, claim the
immunities of a private corporation.
RESOLVED, that we indorse and will support the doc-
trine promulgated by some of our courts, that a railway
corporation in receiving and exercising the state's right
of eminent domain, and receiving aid raised by taxation
from public authorities has thereby accepted and ad-
mitted itself to be a corporation with a public function,
and subject to the power from which it has received
its charter, in the limitation of its rates.
RESOLVED, that a railway being practically a mon-
opoly, controlling the transportation of nearly all the
country through which it passes; and that as competi-
tion, except at a few points, can not be relied upon to fix
rates, therefore it becomes the duty of the state to fix
reasonable maximum rates, affording a fair remunera-
66 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
tion to the transporter, and without being an onerous
charge to the producer and consumer.
Resolved, that, inasmuch as Belgium has succeeded
in regulating the rates upon railways by government
lines, we ask an investigation of the proposition to con-
trol the rates upon existing railways by trunk lines built
and controlled by the states authorities and run at fixed
uniform and cheap rates.
RESOLVED, that the consolidation of parallel lines of
railway is contrary to public policy, and should be pro-
hibited by law.
Resolved, that wherever a railway corporation owns
or controls a line or lines in two or more states, it is the
right and duty of the general government to regulate
the rates of freight and fare upon such lines, under the
constitutional power to regulate commerce between the
states.
RESOLVED, that we commend the thorough organiza-
tion of the farmers of the country in local, county, and
state organizations, for the purpose of reforming the
great abuses and dealing out equal and exact justice to
all men.
5. FARMERS' AND PRODUCERS' CONVEN-
TION, NEW YORK, 1873
Periam, J. The Groundsv.fll t 320-322. During thi» time meetings were
also being held in the Eastern States, to which many western dele-
gates were invited. The second of these was held in New York,
May 6, 1873, and adopted the resolutions below. Before the New
York meeting adjourned, a committee with Hon. Josiah Quincy of
Boston as chairman was appointed to draft an address to the people.
This was done in November, and a meeting was called for January
14, 1874, in Washington, when all complaints were brought before
Congress. This meeting is known as "The American Cheap Trans-
portation Convention."
WHEREAS, the productive industries of the United
States -plantation and farm, mine and factory, com-
mercial and mercantile -are not only the sources of all
our national and individual wealth, but also elements on
which our very national and individual existence de-
pend; and
WHEREAS, all national products are fruits of labor
and capital, and as neither labor nor capital will con-
tinue actively employed without an equivalent meas-
urably just; and,
Whereas, the great national industries are only sus-
tained and prospered by the interchange of products of
one section of the country for those of another; and,
WHEREAS, the existing rates of transportation for the
varied products of the Union from one part of the coun-
try to another, and to foreign countries, as well as the
transit cost of commodities required in exchange, are
in many instances injurious, and to certain interests ab-
solutely destructive, arising in part at least from an
insufficiency of avenues; and,
Whereas, the great national want of the nation to-
68 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
day is relief from the present rates of transit upon Amer-
ican products; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, i. That it is the duty of the hour, and
the mission of this association, to obtain from Congress,
and the different state legislatures such legislation as
may be necessary to control and limit by law, within
proper constitutional and legitimate limits, rates and
charges of existing lines of transportation; to increase,
where practicable, the capacity of our water-ways, and
to aid such new avenues, both water and rail, as our
immensely increasing internal commerce demands, so
that the producer may be justly rewarded for his honest
toil, the consumers have cheap products, and our almost
limitless surplus find foreign markets at rates to com-
pete with the world.
2. That cheap transportation, both of persons and
property, is most conducive to free movement of the
people; that the widest interchange and consumption
of the produce of the different parts of the Union is
essential to the welfare and prosperity of the country.
3. That constant and frequent association of the in-
habitants of remote parts of the United States is not only
desirable, but necessary, for the maintenance of a homo-
geneous and harmonious population within the vast
area of our territory.
4. That the different parts of the country also de-
mand the freest possible interchange of industrial pro-
ducts of the varied climates and industries of the United
States, so that breadstuffs, textile fabrics, lumber, iron,
sugar, and various other products, local in their pro-
duction but general in their consumption, may all reach
the consumer at the least practicable cost for transpor-
tation; and that an arbitrary and unnecessary tax levied
by the transporter over and above a fair remuneration
ten] FARMERS* ORGANIZATIONS 69
for his investment is a burden upon the producer and
consumer that it is the part of wise statesmanship to
remove.
5. That certain leading railway corporations of the
country, although chartered to subserve the public wel-
fare, and endowed with the right of eminent domain
solely for that purpose, have proved themselves prac-
tically monopolists, and become the tools of avaricious
and unscrupulous capitalists, to be used to plunder the
public, enrich themselves, and impoverish the country
through which they run.
6. That many of the railway corporations have not
only disregarded public convenience and prosperity, but
have oppressed citizens, bribed our legislatures, and
defied our executives and judges, and stand today the
most menacing danger to American liberty and to re-
publican government.
7. That the present system of railway management
having failed to meet the just expectations and demands
of a long-suffering people, it must be radically reformed
and controlled by the strong hand of the law, both state
and national, and railway corporations compelled to
perform their proper functions as servants and not mas-
ters of the people.
8. That, to this end, we invoke the aid of all fair-
minded men in all the states of the Union in excluding
from the halls of legislation, from our executive offices,
and from the bench, all railway officials, railway attor-
neys, or other hirelings who prostitute public office to
the base uses of private gain.
9. That, leaving different sections and interests that
desire cheap transportation to work out the problem in
such manner as they may deem best, we earnestly invoke
their careful consideration, their energetic and their res-
7 o AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
olute will in regulating and controlling rates of transpor-
tation, and in giving remunerative wages to the producer
and cheap products to the consumer, untaxed by un-
earned charges for their carriage.
10. That we invite the people of the various states
to organize subsidiary associations, state, county, and
town, to co-operate with the national associations. The
power to accomplish the purposes desired rests abso-
lutely with the suffering millions; and relief is within
their reach and control. United action and the near
future will give, as certain as its need for all time and
the good of all, the true solution of the problem of cheap
transportation. [Adopted unanimously.]
6. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY
(a) OUTLINE OF THE ORDER
Kelley, O. H. Patrons of Husbandry (Philadelphia, 1875), 17-ao. Au-
guat, 1867.
William Saunders, Esq.
Dear Sir: Notwithstanding a large majority of the
people of this country are directly engaged in agricul-
ture, I regret to say in my travels north and south, east
and west, I find there is a great lack of interest on the
part of farmers -a visible want of energy on their part
to favor progressive agriculture. Where we find one
who reads agricultural books and papers, there are ten
or more who consider "book farming", as they term it,
nonsense. This average is too small. In one of our
western states, after making a general investigation, I
found the circulation of purely agricultural papers was
but one to every two hundred and thirty inhabitants; and
libraries of fifty bound volumes were exceptions, yet but
very few who could not read and write. Their system
of farming was the same as that handed down by gener-
ations gone by, with the exception that economy prompt-
ed them to use reaping and threshing machines. Of the
science of agriculture, the natural laws that govern the
growth of plants and kindred subjects of pleasing and
vital interest to farmers, when once they turn their at-
tention to them, there was ninety per cent who were total-
ly ignorant.
Agricultural editors have worked faithfully for years,
to induce our rural population to read and think -their
increasing circulation (that of older papers) indicates
that they have made some progress, but we see there is
72 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
something wanted to produce an excitement which,
when once created, we can throw on fuel and increase
the flame.
Agricultural societies have done much good by estab-
lishing fairs; yet these are generally the work of a few
right-minded, enthusiastic men, aided oftentimes by as-
piring politicians. At these fairs the great attractions
generally are implements and works of art, while the
products of the soil offer the least attractions, and to
bring the farmers out in any numbers, it is actually neces-
sary to introduce, as a prominent feature, horse-races
and numerous side-shows.
I think we can revolutionize all this, and I suggest the
project of organizing an Order to embrace in its mem-
bership only those persons directly interested in culti-
vating the soil. I should make it a secret order, with
several degrees, and signs and passwords. The lectures
in each degree should be practical, appertaining to agri-
cultural work, at the same time convey a moral lesson.
While the Order would aim to advance agriculture to a
higher rank, by encouraging education, it would at the
same time naturally embrace the benefits to its members
guaranteed by Masonry. Every tool used by farmers
and gardeners could be emblems of the Order in some
degree, and each convey a practical and moral illustra-
tion. Being a rural organization, lodge furniture need
not be extravagant, yet appropriate.
Of membership, I should advocate both sexes being
admitted, having separate degrees for the ladies, yet all
meet in common. Making the expense of each degree
but one dollar, would place it within the means of all.
The secrecy would lend an interest and peculiar fascina-
tion, while the material for manufacturing new degrees
to keep up an interest, would be inexhaustible; and here
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 73
I can safely say no order could surpass this in sublimity
of the degrees that can be introduced.
My plan of work is this: having a complete, but tem-
porary organization of an United States lodge, dispensa-
tions are to be granted to lecturers to organize in several
counties in each state; these county organizations to
elect one delegate each to the state organization, and the
state organization one each to the United States. As
soon as the majority of the states shall be represented,
the temporary organization shall be permanently or-
ganized by the United States delegates. A small fee
from each membership shall be annually paid to the
united organization, and this will defray its expenses.
The grand head of the organizations will be an auxil-
iary to the department of agriculture; and as soon as
this shall become a permanent department, with its
secretary in the Cabinet, it seems to me government can
aid materially in advancing the agricultural interests of
the entire country. I should object to any state, or
United States delegate, holding any government or state
political appointment, while serving in that capacity,
and thus keep it free from contamination. I should ad-
vocate the department sending out agents, men of known
ability, for the collection of statistical information, who
should be versed as botanists, horticulturists, entomolo-
gists, etc., who should deliver free lectures for the or-
ganizations, and to which the Order should invite the
public. In this way, by practical lectures properly il-
lustrated, a vast amount of good could be effected
through appropriations of Congress, and hardly any
member of Congress would wish to vote against appro-
priations that would be called for by the department.
There is nothing now that binds the farmers together,
and I think such an Order would, with the most cheer-
74 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
ful results. Its tendency would be to encourage the cir-
culation of our agricultural newspapers, which insure
the co-operation of the editors. It will increase the de-
mands for fruit trees and nursery products, securing the
support of horticulturists, etc. We only need to secure
the approval of our leading agriculturists. If such
gentlemen as Col. Wilder, Barry, yourself and others,
besides the editors of the agricultural press, will en-
dorse the movement, it can possibly be inaugurated by
the middle of September.
Trusting these views will meet with your hearty ap-
proval, I remain your sincere friend, fraternally,
O. H. Kelley.
(b) THE FIRST GRANGE CIRCULAR
Kelley. Patrons of Husbandry, 38-40. Three hundred copies were sent
out by Kelley in November, 1867.
A number of gentlemen engaged in agriculture and
its kindred branches in different states, are now perfect-
ing a ritual for an Order, to be composed wholly of per-
sons, male and female, directly interested in agricultural
pursuits.
The Order will secure to its members all the advan-
tages of Masonry, but while that is speculative, this will
be operative; its main object being to encourage and
advance education in all branches of agriculture.
The Order will have its "Lodges," known as "Tem-
ples of Industry," or similar appellation. The work in
a "Temple" will be divided into four degrees.
The ceremonies of passing from one degree to the
other are made pleasing and instructive. Every tool
used in agriculture has its appropriate lecture, the aim
being to instruct practically and morally in every pos-
sible way, and also add an interest to the most noble of
all occupations -the cultivation of the soil.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 75
It is believed that by admitting the young folks of
both sexes at fourteen or sixteen years of age, it will
have a tendency to instill in their minds a fondness for
rural life, and prevent in a great measure so many of
them flocking to the cities, where all occupations are
now crowded, and at the same time depriving the coun-
try of that class of young men so much needed there.
The ceremonies in the degrees for the ladies are
slightly different but of the same nature, and intended
to lighten and render their household duties more pleas-
ing.
The whole, it is believed, will do much towards ele-
vating our occupation, as well as establishing a unity of
sentiment among the farmers of the country, and materi-
ally increase the circulation of publications devoted to
the interests of agriculture, and consequent increase of
knowledge.
Politics and religion are not subjects of discussion.
Private work of the Order will occupy one evening each
month. Public meetings for lectures and discussions
are proposed to be held once a week.
Libraries and museums (the latter to contain among
other things samples of each year's crop of all cereal
productions) are considered necessary appendages to
each Temple.
It is designed to have at least one Temple in each
county, with one delegate from each to the State Tem-
ple: these will send one delegate each to the National
Temple, which is to be the head of the Order. Persons
holding office under government cannot be delegates to
either the State or National Temple.
Should such an organization meet your approval, and
you see fit to offer any suggestions to enable the origina-
tors to make any further improvements, before it is in-
7 6 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
troduced to the public, the same will be most cordially
received and duly considered.
(c) "THE REAL FOUNDATION"
Kelley. Patrons of Husbandry, 125-130. Grange Circular as revised by
Kelley and Col. D. A. Robertson at St Paul, Minnesota. "It was on
this circular we based the real foundation of the Order."
National Grange, Washington, D.C., September, 1868.
In response to numerous inquiries in regard to the
organization and objects of our Order, this circular is
issued. The Order was organized, after much labor and
preparation, by a number of distinguished agricultur-
ists, of various states of the Union, at Washington, in
December, 1867, and since then has met with most en-
couraging success, giving assurance that it will soon be-
come one of the most useful and powerful organizations
in the United States. Its grand object is not only gen-
eral improvement in husbandry, but to increase the gen-
eral happiness, wealth and prosperity of the country.
It is founded upon the axioms that the products of the
soil comprise the basis of all wealth ; that individual hap-
piness depends upon general prosperity, and that the
wealth of a country depends upon the general intelli-
gence and mental culture of the producing classes. The
best mode of securing a diffusion of knowledge, with a
view to its application for the increase of the products
of the soil, is, therefore one of the most important ques-
tions that can be propounded, and we hope to greatly
facilitate its solution by the results that will follow the
work of this organization. . . When we reflect upon
the fact that certain associations have stood the test of
ages -many centuries -as, for example, the Masonic
Order, we may well pause and ask : "In what does their
permanency consist?" We can find but one satisfactory
answer to this question, and that is in their ritual, secrecy,
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 77
fraternity, and mutual benefits. If, then, these arc the
efficient elements of extension, permanency and success,
why not employ them for the dissemination of useful
knowledge, and a more general and effective organiza-
tion of communities engaged in rural pursuits? and this
we propose, not only for their benefit, but also for the
increase of national wealth and power. If these are
available accessories for the permanent organization of
husbandmen -all other means having failed -why not
adopt them? . . .
Women are admitted into our Order, as well as young
persons of both sexes over the age of sixteen and eighteen
respectively. In its proceedings a love for rural life
will be encouraged, the desire for excitement and amuse-
ment, so prevalent in youth, will be gratified, instead of
being repressed; not, however, in frivolities, as useless
for the future as they are for the present, but by direct-
ing attention to the wonder-workings of nature, and
leading the mind to enjoy and appreciate that never-
ending delight which follows useful studies, relating to
the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms. . .
With regard to the modes of instruction adopted in the
Order, mention may be made of the reading of essays
and of discussions, lectures, formation of select libraries,
circulation of magazines and other publications treating
directly upon the main subjects desired, namely: those
inculcating the principles governing our operations in
the field, orchard and garden.
The novelty of this organization, and the manner it
proposes of introducing a system of special education,
has hitherto prevented the originators from calling pub-
lic attention to its work, but the great favor with which
it has been received, prompts to a bolder action, satisfied
that the noble purposes to which the Order is dedicated,
7 8 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
will command the respect and serious attention of all.
We ignore all political or religious discussions in
the Order; we do not solicit the partonage of any sect,
association or individual upon any grounds whatever,
except upon the intrinsic merits of the Order. It needs
no such patronage, and would not be what it is if it did.
Its objects, as already indicated, are to advance educa-
tion, to elevate and dignify the occupation of the farmer,
and to protect its members against the numerous com-
binations by which their interests are injuriously af-
fected.
There is no association that secures so many advan-
tages to its members as this.
The Order of the Patrons of Husbandry will accom-
plish a thorough and systematic organization among
farmers and horticulturists throughout the United
States, and will secure among them intimate social re-
lations and acquaintance with each other, for the ad-
vancement and elevation of its pursuits, with an appre-
ciation and protection of their true interests. By such
means may be accomplished that which exists through-
out the country in all other avocations, and among all
other classes -combined co-operative association for in-
dividual improvement and common benefit.
In the meetings of this Order, all but members are ex-
cluded, and there is in its proceedings a symbolized Rit-
ual, pleasing, beautiful and appropriate, which is de-
signed not only to charm the fancy, but to cultivate and
enlarge the mind, and purify the heart, having, at the
same time, strict adaptation to rural pursuits.
It is an Order in which all persons will find innocent
recreation and valuable instruction, pecuniary profit
and mutual protection. It is, in truth, a need long felt,
and now required.
The secrecy of the Ritual, and proceedings of the
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 79
Order have been adopted, chiefly, for the purpose of ac-
complishing desired efficiency, extension and unity, and
to secure among its members in the internal working of
the Order -confidence, harmony and security.
Among other advantages which may be derived from
the Order, can be mentioned, systematic arrangements
for procuring and disseminating, in the most expeditious
manner, information relative to crops, demand and sup-
ply, prices, markets, and transportation throughout the
country, and for the establishment of depots for the sale
of special or general products in the cities; also for the
purchase and exchange of stock, seeds, and desired va-
rieties of plants and trees, and for the purpose of pro-
curing help at home or from abroad, and situations for
persons seeking employment; also for ascertaining and
testing the merits of newly invented farming imple-
ments, and those not in general use, and for detecting
and exposing those that are unworthy, and for protect-
ing by all available means, the farming interests from
fraud and deception of every kind.
In conclusion, we desire that agricultural societies
shall keep step with the music of the age, and keep pace
with improvements in the reaping machine and steam
engine. In this Order we expect to accomplish these
results. Every Grange is in intimate relation with its
neighboring Granges, and these with the State Grange,
and the State Granges are in unity with the National
Grange. Valuable information, and benefits enjoyed
by one, are communicated to all. The old style of
Farmers' Clubs, like the old sickle and flail, were very
good in their day, but they are of the past, and are too far
behind all other enterprise in the progress of civiliza-
tion. Hence the necessity of this new Order.

(d) FROM MANUFACTURER TO FARMER, 1872
Rural Carolinian, vol. # iv, 36. That the Grange intended actively to
undertake improvement of the business methods in which farmers
were interested is clear from the following representative circular.
[A circular has been issued by the Executive Com-
mittee of the National Grange P. of H., addressed to
manufacturers of agricultural and domestic imple-
ments, Machinery, etc., from which we make the fol-
lowing extract: -Ed. Carolinian.]
To enable the members of the Order to purchase im-
plements and machinery at as low cost as possible, by
saving the commission usually paid to agents, and the
profits of the long line of dealers standing between the
manufacturers and the farmers, the Executive Commit-
tee of the National Grange desire to publish a list of all
establishments that will deal directly with State and
Subordinate Granges. The list will be regarded as
strictly confidential, and one copy only will be furnished
to each Grange.
Large orders can thus be made up by the consolida-
tion of the orders from Granges in the same state or vi-
cinity, and special terms for freight, etc., arranged with
transportation lines, thereby affecting another large
saving to the purchaser.
Manufacturers of all articles used by farmers who de-
sire to avail themselves of this means of disposing of
their products directly to the consumer for cash, thereby
avoiding the losses incident to the credit system, or the
storing of goods in the hands of commission merchants
and agents, are invited to send their catalogues and
wholesale price list to, and to correspond with,

(e) LEGISLATION, NOT POLITICS
Proceedings of the State Grange of Wisconsin, second annual session,
1874, p. 31. Although the Grange insisted at all times that it would
not indulge in political and religious controversies, such resolutions
as the following will show the attitude of the active members.
(Confidential.) At a meeting of the Executive
Committees of the Patrons of Husbandry, for the States
in the Mississippi Valley, held at Keokuk, Iowa, Oct.
1 6th, 1873, among other things the following resolution
was adopted.
RESOLVED, that in the opinion of this convention, the
Executive Committee of each state should be charged
with the special duty of corresponding with their re-
spective representatives in the National Senate and
House of Representatives, upon the subject of the
speedy improvement of the Mississippi River, at its
mouth, and at such other points upon it, as work may
have been already commenced by the general govern-
ment, and upon the speedy improvement of the Fox and
Wisconsin Rivers; that the result of such correspond-
ence be communicated by each such Executive Commit-
tee to a Central Committee, to be appointed by this con-
vention. That such Central Committee shall thereupon
take measures to communicate the combined result of
such reports, in a condensed form, to each and every
state and subordinate Grange of the P. of H. throughout
the United States, with such suggestions as said com-
mittee shall after due deliberation consider advisable to
make, including therein a request for the active co-op-
eration of each Grange, to bring about the consummation
of this step, towards securing the full realization of
this great desire and absolute necessity of the people,
having due regard to uniform action therein; espe-
cially shall such Central Committee, in making the
82 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
aforesaid suggestions, advise the Granges throughout
the Union, to hold to a strict, real and actual accounta-
bility, their respective U.S. senators and representatives,
and from time to time take such measures as will in no
uncertain terms, manifest the determination of the Or-
der to insist upon prompt and decisive action by our
national legislature upon the subject under considera-
tion.
The central committee appointed, consists of J. H.
Osborn, of Wisconsin, Ch'n; Spencer Day, of Iowa;
S. F. Brown, of Michigan ; Wm. Hester, of Mississippi ;

(f) SOUTHERN PROBLEMS
Proceedings of the Seventh Session of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, St. Louis, Feb. 4, 1874, pp. 60-63.
Memorial to the Cotton States. The under-
signed, representatives of the Cotton States in the Na-
tional Grange, beg leave to present to the Patrons of
Husbandry in the cotton-growing section of the Union,
the following suggestions, which they believe to be jus-
tified by the present condition of the South.
During the past seven years, our cotton fields have
added to the wealth of the world ($2,000,000,000) two
thousand millions of dollars, and caused prosperity to
smile upon every one who has handled our crops save
those who struggled for its production. Annually the
energies of the cotton planter have been exhausted in at-
tempting to produce a maximum crop of a single staple,
whilst quite as frequently he has reduced his means in
supplying his necessary wants. A system based upon
such a policy, and producing such results, must be rad-
ically wrong, and if persisted in, will lead to bankrupt-
cy and ruin. We propose to inquire into the cause of
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 83
this evil, and, if possible, present a method of removing
it.
Has it been that the supply of cotton has exceeded the
demand? Statistics do not prove this a fact. Is it that our
labor his been unreliable and expensive? The same
labor investment has nowhere yielded a greater market
value of products. Has Providence inflicted upon us
agricultural disasters? He has often interposed for our
benefits. What then has averted our anticipated pros-
perity? Are we not responsible for our direful condi-
tion, in that we have neglected too much the growth of
breadstuffs, and substituted therefor almost exclusively
the cultivation of cotton? No people can ever become
prosperous who are not self-sustaining. Our fertile
soil, exhaustless mineral wealth, abundant water power,
and genial, salubrious climate avail us nothing if an-
nually we expend millions for subsistence. It is gener-
ally conceded that home-grown bread is cheaper than
purchased supplies ; and the observation of every planter
is, that those southern farmers who live within them-
selves are more independent and less encumbered with
debt than those who have relied solely upon the cotton
crop. Were it otherwise, it is hazardous for any people
to rely upon others for a supply of those articles which
are necessary for their daily consumption.
The horrors of famine which have more than once
cursed the people of India, in their efforts to grow cot-
ton to the exclusion of breadstuffs, would have been re-
peated in our midst but that we were able to supply our
necessities from the teeming granaries of the northwest.
We shrink from the contemplation of what would be
our condition should disaster deprive us of that resource.
During the past year, certain portions of Iowa, Minne-
sota, and Dakota have been invaded by the grasshopper
84 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
which has swept their fields like a fire, and destroyed
every vestige of vegetation. Imagine your condition,
should a similar invasion become general in the north-
west. Couple with this idea the total failure of a cotton
crop either from the worms, from drought, or from any
other unavoidable cause. Improbable as such visita-
tions may appear, have we the power to prevent them;
and is it wise to subject ourselves to the possibility of be-
coming the victims of such calamities? Depend upon
it, our wisest and safest policy is, as far as practicable,
to produce at home our necessary supplies. Is there a
farm in the South upon which this can not be done, and at
the same time produce an average cotton crop as the net
result of the farmers' annual labors? We believe there
is not; and you have only to practice this policy for the
year 1874, and the harvest-time will proclaim redemp-
tion to the South, and a return to its wonted prosperity.
As our Constitution expresses it "the prosperity of a
nation is in proportion to the value of its productions."
Then how magnificently prosperous should be the Cot-
ton States of this Union! Annually four millions
(4,000,000) of bales of cotton are produced upon
southern soil. But what proportion of this vast amount
is retained to indicate our prosperity? One half of it is
expended for necessary supplies, whilst the remainder
is divided between labor and taxes. Hence the cost of
production has succeeded the value of the article pro-
duced. Shall this policy continue? Extensive cotton
crops have evinced our unity of purpose, and entailed
poverty upon us. An equal uniform adhesion to mixed
husbandry would secure our recuperation.
Patrons of the South, do you appreciate your priv-
ileges? Reflect upon your opportunity to exact tribute
of the world. Cotton is a necessity, and the extent of that
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 85
necessity can be calculated with exactness. It is equally
well known what proportion of that necessity must be
supplied by the Cotton States of America. If three
million five hundred thousand bales (3,500,000) are
grown, they will be consumed before another crop can
be gathered, and a remunerative market price will be
sustained by the consequent demand. If four millions
five hundred thousand (4,500,000) bales are grown the
large marginal excess will control and depress the mar-
ket. Is it not within the power of our organization to
control this feature of our condition? Alternatives for
success are numerous, but we need rely upon the single
one of cooperating in the determination to subsist at
home. With this end attained, there is no reason why
we should not be the happiest, most independent and
prosperous people on earth.

(t) Sixth Session, Georgetown, D.C., January 8-n, 1873.
Proceedings of the Sixth Session of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, Washington, D.C., January 8, 1873. This was the
first session as a delegate body, but the sixth annual session of the
national organization. It followed the first really active year. Twen-
ty-three delegates were present The preamble, constitution, and by-
laws were overhauled, the National Grange was incorporated, and
committees on transportation and cooperation made reports. Prior to
1873 the national organization was in financial trouble. By 1874
their treasury began to fill. By 187$ officers were well paid; large
donations were made to members who suffered by flood, locusts, etc ;
and money was loaned and afterward donated to the State Granges.
86 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
By 1877 rigid economy was preached, and expenses necessarily re-
duced. The secretary's report in 1873 follows in part
[5, 6:] During the past year there have been organ-
ized eight State Granges in the following States: Illi-
nois (reorganized), Indiana, Wisconsin (reorganized),
Vermont, South Carolina, Nebraska, Mississippi, and
Kansas; while Michigan and Missouri are ready to be
admitted, as well as Ohio, Tennessee, and Arkansas;
Oregon will not be far behind. In regard to the stand-
ing of the states as to working and paying Granges, Iowa
takes the lead -having seven hundred and fifty-four re-
corded. South Carolina stands next, having organized
its State Grange with sixty-two Sub-granges, and has
now on record one hundred and two Granges, and with
Mississippi, with sixty-one Granges, are the only States
where every Grange reports and pays dues prompt-
ly. . . We now have Sub-granges organized in
twenty- two states, and three have been established in
Canada. The total number of Granges is 1,362. [1,105
organized during the year.]
[The Preamble, Constitution, and By-laws, as over-
hauled and adopted, contained the following, pp. 12-
18:]
PREAMBLE. Human happiness is the acme of earthly
ambition. Individual happiness depends upon general
prosperity.
The prosperity of a nation is in proportion to the
value of its productions.
The soil is the source from whence we derive all that
constitutes wealth ; without it we would have no agri-
culture, no manufactures, no commerce. Of all the
material gifts of the Creator, the various productions of
the vegetable world are of the first importance. The art
of agriculture is the parent and precursor of all arts,
and its products the foundation of all wealth.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 87
The productions of the earth are subject to the influ-
ence of natural laws, invariable and indisputable; the
amount produced will consequently be in proportion to
the intelligence of the producer, and success will depend
upon his knowledge of the action of these laws, and the
proper application of their principles.
Hence, knowledge is the foundation of happiness.
The ultimate object of this organization is for mutual
instruction and protection, to lighten labor by diffusing
a knowledge of its aims and purposes, expand the mind
by tracing the beautiful laws the Great Creator has es-
tablished in the universe, and to enlarge our views of
creative wisdom and power.
To those who read aright, history proves that in all
ages society is fragmentary, and successful results of
general welfare can be secured only by general effort.
Unity of action cannot be acquired without discipline,
and discipline cannot be enforced without significant
organization; hence we have a ceremony of initiation
which binds us in mutual fraternity as with a band of
iron; but although its influence is so powerful, its ap-
plication is as gentle as that of the silken thread that
binds a wreath of flowers.

(a) Seventh Session, 1874.
Proceedings of the Seventh Session of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, St. Louis, Missouri, February 4, 1874.
[T. R. Allen, master of the State Grange of Missouri,
welcomed the National Grange, as follows (pages 6-8) :]
. . . When I pledged you, as a result of a favor-
able consideration of my motion, that we would have
one hundred granges in the state by the time this session
convened, I did it with fear and trembling. . . We
had nominally at that time nineteen granges in the state,
really not half that number of live active ones. And,
now, behold! I have exceeding great pleasure to inform
you that instead of one hundred we have one thousand
five hundred live, active working granges. . . The
organization now exists in nearly every one of the one
hundred and fourteen counties of our state. . . The
exhibition I there witnessed [session of 1873] of frater-
nal sympathy, Christian spirit, harmonious unity of ac-
92 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
tion, oneness of purpose, entire absence of sectional,
political, or other prejudices or jealousies among men,
assembled for the first time from all the extreme sections
of our country, that had so recently been convulsed and
torn by the worst passions of our nature, made an im-
pression on my mind so favorable to our order that it
gave me courage and strength to labor and to endure
in a manner and to an extent that I feel sure I never
could have otherwise done. Since that time I have trav-
elled not less than fifteen thousand miles within the lim-
its of our state, in the interests of this noble cause, and
have everywhere witnessed the same result among our
people. Everywhere men of the most antagonistic
feelings, prejudices, jealousies, and even hatred have
through its influence been brought together, made better
acquainted with each other instead of enemies. They
now feel and act toward each other as never before. The
social improvement and amenities of life are cultivated
as never before. A taste for reading, habits of thought,
investigation, and intellectual culture are promoted to
an extent never thought of or dreamed of before. . .
[Worthy Master Adams (pages 11-21)]. . . At
our last annual meeting, there were represented nine
state granges, having under their jurisdiction about
thirteen hundred subordinate granges. Today there are
state granges in thirty-two states and two territories, all
of which are today present through their chosen repre-
sentatives, and claim under their jurisdiction nearly
twelve thousand subordinate granges. . . The causes
which have led to this great uprising which have ren-
dered the work of organization possible and even easy
are few but grave, and mainly of a nature never con-
templated by the originators of the order. In its incep-
tion it was intended to be chiefly a social and educational
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 93
institution, something after the nature of a farmers'
club, only more comprehensive in its plan, including
both sexes, and rendered more attractive by a pleasing
ritual and the subtle charm of secrecy. It was intended
to bring together, at frequent and stated periods, the
agricultural population, to interchange views, discuss
agricultural, literary, and scientific questions, and cul-
tivate the social amenities of civilized life. In short, it
was intended to improve the standing of the tillers of the
soil, mentally, morally, and socially. As such it has been
and is being a most magnificent success. Though some
other features, which have been engrafted on the parent
stock at a later day, have occupied a more prominent
place in the eye of the public than this, yet it can not be
denied that none are of equal importance to the per-
manent welfare of the Order and its members; for, real-
ly, moral worth, mental power, and social culture lie at
the foundation of all real progress. There is danger
that, in grappling with the gigantic questions of the
hour, we may lose sight of the rock on which we build-
ed. . . When the first subordinate granges had been
organized, one of the first and most proper subjects for
discussion was, how to make two blades of grass grow
where one grew before. During these discussions, the
fact soon became prominent that how to sell crops was
fully as knotty a question as how to grow them. It
came to the conviction of members, that we received
sixty cents for a bushel of wheat, while the man who ate
it paid one dollar and twenty cents for it. We were sell-
ing corn at twenty cents per bushel, while the consumer
was paying eighty cents for it. In what we bought, there
was the same discrepancy between the first cost and what
we were obliged to pay. For mowers, sewing-machines,
plows, musical instruments, etc., we were paying from
94 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
thirty to two hundred per cent above the original cost.
We asked ourselves whether this amazing difference
was a necessity, or the result of circumstances over which
we had control. The solution of this problem soon be-
came a leading idea in the Order.
Subordinate granges, county councils, and state
granges have given this one point more thought and at-
tention than perhaps any other, and I am happy to know
that satisfactory progress has been made -millions of
dollars saved to the members of the Order, and still the
outlook is, that we are as yet only on the threshold of this
great work. Almost universally we find manufacturers
and consumers equally anxious to be relieved of so much
as is possible of the loss in transit occasioned by a sur-
plus of middle-men. Most of those manufacturers of
small agricultural implements have been found ready
to sell direct to granges at wholesale rates. With the
manufacturers of reapers and mowers, the case has been
different, not that they are unwilling to do so from any
principle or prejudice, but no one state was strong
enough to show them that they could offer a more certain
market for their wares than could be obtained through
their present system of agencies. In such cases as these,
it is the duty of the national to lend its aid to the state
granges, or by itself grapple with the difficulty. The
subject of cooperative stores is one in which subordinate
granges have manifested much interest, but the want of
definite information as to the most approved and suc-
cessful plan of conducting them has prevented their gen-
eral establishment. I am of the opinion that the Na-
tional Grange should prepare a careful and elaborate
plan for such stores, using therefor the abundant ma-
terials which the experience of the Rochdale and other
societies afford. . . Transportation of farm products
ten]
FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS
95
to market is also an outgrowth of and properly a part of
the same question, and a part which has laid firm hold
on the consciences of our people. . . Rates of freight
are often exorbitantly high and frequently changed.
Often a larger bill is charged for a short distance than
a long one, thus discriminating against places ; and often
higher rates are charged one individual than another,
thus discriminating against persons. When we plant a
crop, we can only guess what it will cost to send it to
market, for we are the slaves of those whom we cre-
ated. . . What shall be the remedy? Here lies the
difficulty, for even in our own ranks there is a Babel of
opinion. Some advocate new routes east, subsidized by
government, either rail or canal ; others would have new
roads made by private enterprise and trust to competi-
tion. The first of these will require many years before
they can afford the relief which we want now; and be-
sides will surely develop into other Credit Mobiliers.
The second will only add one more link to the chain
which now binds us hand and foot. I see no solution of
this question but for Congress to avail itself of its con-
stitutional right to regulate commerce between the
states, and for the states themselves to regulate the tar-
iffs within their own boundaries. . .
ARTICLE 5 [Constitution]. This, as now worded,
caused, perhaps, more trouble and vexation than any
other. I refer to the clause which reads: "Any person
interested in agricultural pursuits." This clause is ca-
pable of such varied construction that much confusion
and misunderstanding has resulted. During the infancy
of the Order, when members were few, our strength
puny, and our chief aim simply social and educational,
there was little danger in construing this clause liberally
and admitting nearly all who would pay the fee and con-
96 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
sent to join such a weak and unpopular institution. But
now all these circumstances are changed. To be a Pa-
tron of Husbandry is no longer of doubtful propriety,
but the proudest in the land are knocking at our door.
The Order has become recognized as one of the great
powers in the land, and the gates are besieged, from
ocean to ocean, by hordes of speculators, demagogues,
small politicians, grain-buyers, cotton-factors, and law-
yers, who suddenly discover that they are "interested in
agricultural pursuits;" but only as a hawk is interested
in the sparrow. . .
ARTICLE 12 also demands most serious consideration
to definitely decide what interpretation shall be put
upon the word "political." I am gratified that our mem-
bers are substantially a unit in the opinion that the Order
should not in any sense become a political party. But at
the same time, there are questions most fundamentally
affecting our material interests, which can only be
reached through legislation. It seems imperative, that
such questions be discussed in the grange. Shall it
be ruled that such questions were political in the mean-
ing of the constitution? The questions of transporta-
tion, taxation, finance, corruption in public places,
were such as come home to the conscience and pockets
of our members, and they wish to know whether they
will be denied the privilege of canvassing them on the
ground of politics. This body should clearly set forth
an authoritative interpretation for the guidance of mem-
bers.
[Executive Committee (pages 28-32)] Your com-
mittee have issued three business circulars during the
year, and have visited various cities and manufacturing
stations in efforts to effect special arrangements for the
benefit of the Order. They have also placed themselves
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 97
in correspondence with presidents and directors of rail-
road and other transportation companies, and have made
personal visits to many of them, and in all their negotia-
tions the utmost harmony has prevailed. Occasionally
prejudices were encountered, and wrong impressions
with regard to the aims and objects of the Order had to
be removed ; but after acquiring a thorough understand-
ing of our propositions in regard to business transactions,
satisfactory arrangements were speedily perfected.
Unfortunately for the Order, the impression prevails
to some extent that its chief mission is to fight railroads
and denounce capitalists. It is a work of time to remove
these erroneous impressions, and to prove that we do
not wage a meaningless aggressive warfare upon any in-
terest whatever; but that, on the contrary, all our acts
and all our efforts, so far as business is concerned, are not
only for the benefit of producers and consumers, but
equally for all other interests that tend to bring these
two parties into speedy and economical contact. . .
The past experience of your committee induces it to
suggest for your consideration the propriety of estab-
lishing a Business Agency in the office of the National
Grange, to be under the direct and entire control of the
Executive Committee. Among other duties, this agency
would publish, at such intervals of time as would be
deemed best, a complete business directory of the Order.
This would not only embrace all arrangements made by
the Executive Committee of the National Grange, but
also those of all state granges; thus showing at one com-
prehensive view the entire business facilities of the Or-
der, a copy to be sent to each subordinate grange as soon
as published. [Advocates collection of statistics, publi-
cation of tracts, employment of lecturers.]
[Membership was interpreted, as follows (page 72)]
98 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
RESOLVED, that in the sense of the National Grange, the
expression, "Interested in agricultural pursuits," in arti-
cle 5 of the constitution, means, "Engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits, and having no interest in conflict with
our purposes."
[Committee on Transportation and Cooperation
(pages 78-80) ] The Order of the Patrons of Husband-
ry, representing the productive industry of the country,
finds the means of transportation inadequate to carry on
its exchanges, while at the same time the cost of trans-
portation, chiefly on account of the inadequacy of the
means, is so excessive as to be onerous. The committee
would therefore respectfully suggest the following reso-
lutions:
First: that the Mississippi River be made navigable,
with a permanent outlet to the gulf, and its channel be
so improved as to afford a means of transportation for
the exchanges of those states lying upon its borders,
commensurate with their demands.
Second: that Congress, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the constitution, so regulate the internal com-
merce between the states as to make the tax upon internal
transportation approximate more justly the actual cost,
while at the same time in no way threatening or injuring
the legitimate claims of invested capital, to secure such
a proportionate share of the wealth produced by industry
as it is justly entitled to for its services.
Third: that the proper legislative measures be in-
stituted to restore our foreign commerce to its former
condition of efficiency, so that the charge of freight may
no longer be a direct tax against our productive industry,
but, as it used to be, an increase of our domestic re-
sources.
Fourth: that printed copies of these resolutions be
furnished the masters of state granges, and they be in-
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 99
structcd to forward them to the members of Congress
from their respective states.
Fifth : while the above resolutions suggest the aid of
the state in attaining our ends, yet your committee would
take this occasion to impress upon the members of the
Order, that taking the matter in their own hands and or-
ganizing effective cooperation between themselves as
producers and the transportation companies as legiti-
mately engaged in a necessary function of the business
of exchange, is one of the most practical means for pro-
ducing immediate results.
Your committee were also enjoined to take into con-
sideration the subject of business cooperation. Under
this head, we feel the imperative necessity of some defi-
nite action, to the end that there may be an exchange of
products between producers in the different sections of
country. The cotton and sugar-growing states, the
manufacturing and mining districts of the Eastern and
Middle States and the bread and meat-producing states
of the west, are all united by a common bond of interest,
an interest which the Order of Patrons will bring to-
gether and utilize.
It should be our purpose to arrange a business system
by which an exchange of products may be made direct
between the producer and consumer without the inter-
vention of an unnecessary number of middle men. It
is of but little satisfaction to our brothers of the south to
know that corn in Iowa is selling at thirty cents per
bushel while they pay eighty, or that meat in Illinois is
four cents per pound, while it costs them eight. It is a
questionable consolation to the manufacturer of New-
England to know that in the valley of the Mississippi a
yard of his cloth will buy three loaves of bread, when
but one of them ever reaches his family.
Your committee recognize fully that these differences
ioo AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
are not caused by a fair and equitable system of trans-
portation or business needs, but by an unhealthy system
of watered stock and an unnecessary number of middle
men, which together eat up too large a share of the
products of labor. In view of these facts, we respectful-
ly submit the following resolution :
Resolved, that the Executive Committee of the Na-
tional Grange be instructed to give especial attention
to furnishing Patrons with tools and implements for the
cultivation of our farms, and all family and farm sup-
plies, at as low a price as a legitimate business profit will
permit, and also to make arrangements by which a mu-
tual exchange of products between different sections of
the country may be made ; and they are hereby author-
ized to employ, if in their judgment it may be necessary,
competent agents to aid them in the work.
That they be also instructed to devise some safe plan
for co-operative stores, for the information of members
of the Order, and transmit the same to the Executive
Committees of the several state granges. [Adopted.]

[On account of the many resolutions promulgated by
State and local granges in all parts of the country, each
according to the local situation, the following complete
statement was adopted (pages 56-60).]
DECLARATION OF PURPOSE OF THE NATIONAL
GRANGE
PREAMBLE. Profoundly impressed with the truth
that the National Grange of the United States should
definitely proclaim to the world its general objects, we
hereby unanimously make this Declaration of Purposes
of the Patrons of Husbandry:
General Objects, i. United by the strong and
ten] FARMERS* ORGANIZATIONS 101
faithful tic of agriculture, wc mutually resolve to labor
for the good of our Order, our country, and mankind.
2. We heartily indorse the motto: "In essentials,
unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity."
Specific Objects. 3. Wc shall endeavor to advance
our cause by laboring to accomplish the following ob-
jects :
To develop a better and higher manhood and woman-
hood among ourselves. To enhance the comforts and at-
tractions of our homes, and strengthen our attachments
to our pursuits. To foster mutual understanding and
cooperation. To maintain inviolate our laws, and to
emulate each other in labor to hasten the good time
coming. To reduce our expenses, both individual and
corporate. To buy less and produce more, in order to
make our farms self-sustaining. To diversify our crops,
and crop no more than we can cultivate. To condense
the weight of our exports, selling less in the bushel and
more on hoof and in fleece; less in lint, and more in
warp and woof. To systematize our work, and calculate
intelligently on probabilities. To discountenance the
credit system, the mortgage system, the fashion system,
and every other system tending to prodigality and bank-
ruptcy.
We propose meeting together, talking together, work-
ing together, buying together, selling together, and in
general acting together for our mutual protection and
advancement, as occasion may require. We shall avoid
litigation as much as possible by arbitration in the
Grange. We shall constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony, good-will, vital brotherhood among ourselves,
and to make our order perpetual. We shall earnestly
endeavor to suppress personal, local, sectional, and na-
tional prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry, all selfish
102 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
ambition. Faithful adherence to these principles will
insure our mental, moral, social, and material advance-
ment.
Business Relations. 4. For our business interests,
we desire to bring producers and consumers, farmers
and manufacturers into the most direct and friendly re-
lations possible. Hence we must dispense with a sur-
plus of middlemen, not that we are unfriendly to them,
but we do not need them. Their surplus and their ex-
actions diminish our profits.
We wage no aggressive warfare against any other in-
terests whatever. On the contrary, all our acts and all
our efforts, so far as business is concerned, are not only
for the benefit of the producer and consumer, but also
for all other interests that tend to bring these two parties
into speedy and economical contact. Hence we hold
that transportation companies of every kind are neces-
sary to our success, that their interests are intimately
connected with our interests, and harmonious action is
mutually advantageous, keeping in view the first sen-
tence in our declaration of principles of action that
"Individual happiness depends upon general prosper-
ity."
We shall, therefore, advocate for every state the in-
crease in every practicable way, of all facilities for
transporting cheaply to the seaboard, or between home
producers and consumers, all the productions of our
country. We adopt it as our fixed purpose to "open out
the channels in nature's great arteries that the life-blood
of commerce may flow freely."
We are not enemies of railroads, navigable and irri-
gating canals, nor of any corporation that will advance
our industrial interests, nor of any laboring classes.
In our noble Order there is no communism, no agra-
rianism.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 103
We arc opposed to such spirit and management of any
corporation or enterprise as tends to oppress the people
and rob them of their just profits. We are not enemies
to capital, but we oppose the tyranny of monopolies.
We long to see the antagonism between capital and labor
removed by common consent, and by an enlightened
statesmanship worthy of the nineteenth century. We
are opposed to excessive salaries, high rates of interest,
and exorbitant per cent profits in trade. They greatly
increase our burdens, and do not bear a proper propor-
tion to the profits of producers. We desire only self-
protection and the protection of every true interest of
our land by legitimate transactions, legitimate trade,
and legitimate profits.
Education. We shall advance the cause of educa-
tion among ourselves and for our children, by all just
means within our power. We especially advocate for
our agricultural and industrial colleges that practical
agriculture, domestic science, and all the arts which
adorn the home, be taught in their courses of study.
The Grange not partisan. 5. We emphatically
and sincerely assert the oft-repeated truth taught in our
organic law, that the Grange, National, State, or Sub-
ordinate, is not a political or party organization. No
Grange, if true to its obligations, can discuss political or
religious questions, nor call political conventions, nor
nominate candidates, nor even discuss their merits in its
meetings.
Yet the principles we teach underlie all true politics,
all true statesmanship, and, if properly carried out, will
tend to purify the whole political atmosphere of our
country. For we seek the greatest good to the greatest
number.
We must always bear in mind that no one, by becoming
a Patron of Husbandry, gives up that inalienable right
104 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
and duty which belongs to every American citizen, to
take a proper interest in the politics of his country.
On the contrary, it is right for every member to do all
in his power legitimately to influence for good the action
of any political party to which he belongs. It is his
duty to do all he can in his own party to put down
bribery, corruption, and trickery; to see that none but
competent, faithful, and honest men, who will unflinch-
ingly stand by our industrial interests, are nominated
for all positions of trust; and to have carried out the
principle which should always characterize every Pa-
tron, that the office should seek the man, and not the
man the office.
We acknowledge the broad principle that difference
of opinion is no crime, and hold that "progress toward
truth is made by differences of opinion," while "the
fault lies in bitterness of controversy."
We desire a proper equality, equity, and fairness;
protection for the weak, restraint upon the strong; in
short, justly distributed burdens and justly distributed
power. These are American ideas, the very essence of
American independence, and to advocate the contrary
is unworthy of the sons and daughters of an American
republic.
We cherish the belief that sectionalism is, and of right
should be, dead and buried with the past. Our work is
for the present and the future. In our agricultural
brotherhood and its purposes we shall recognize no
north, no south, no east, no west.
It is reserved by every Patron, as the right of a free-
man, to affiliate with any party that will best carry out
his principles.
Outside Co-operation. 6. Ours being peculiarly a
farmers' institution, we cannot admit all to our ranks.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 105
Many are excluded by the nature of our organization,
not because they are professional men, or artisans, or
laborers, but because they have not a sufficient direct in-
terest in tilling the soil, or may have some interest in
conflict with our purposes. But we appeal to all good
citizens for their cordial cooperation to assist in our
efforts toward reform, that we may eventually remove
from our midst the last vestige of tyranny and corrup-
tion. We hail the general desire for fraternal harmony,
equitable compromises, and earnest cooperation, as an
omen of our future success.
7. It shall be an abiding principle with us to relieve
any of our oppressed and suffering brotherhood by any
means at our command.
Last, but not least, we proclaim it among our pur-
poses to inculcate a proper appreciation of the abilities
and sphere of woman, as is indicated by admitting her to
membership and position in our order.
Imploring the continued assistance of our Divine
Master to guide us in our work, we here pledge ourselves
to faithful and harmonious labor for all future time, to
return by our united efforts to the wisdom, justice, fra-
ternity, and political purity of our forefathers.
[Money was appropriated to assist members in Iowa,
Minnesota and Dakota who suffered from "grasshopper
plague;" the organization refused to take up the sub-
ject of national finance; a report from Canada was sub-
mitted ; a committee to prepare a platform of principles
was formed; and Congress was memorialized on the
patent laws.]
106 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
(3) Eighth Session, 1875.
Proceedings of the Eighth Session of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, Charleston, South Carolina, Feb. 3, 1875.
[Report of Worthy Secretary (page 22) ] The mem-
bership of the entire Order has been more than doubled
since our last session. During February we reached the
highest number of Subordinate Granges organized in
any month since its foundation, viz. 2,239. During the
past five months the work of organizing has settled down
to an average of 392 Granges per month, and the work
in the Secretary's office has been so systematized that a
much smaller force of clerks is employed. The largest
number of Granges organized in any State was 1,324-
in Kentucky. The whole number organized in the U.S.
was 11,941; and the number of Deputies employed,
1,074. ■ •
[Executive Committee (pages 24-35)] ... In
pursuance of the plan adopted by your committee to
make special arrangements with manufacturers and
business firms for such articles as are in demand by the
Order, and sending a notification of the same to each
Grange by means of a confidential circular, it was soon
made manifest that an injurious publicity was given to
these circulars. Many of them never reached their des-
tination, and in all probability fell into other hands than
those for whom they were intended. . . The re-
sult could readily be foreseen ; manufacturers were soon
made aware of the fact that their private arrangements
had been made public, contrary to express agreement,
and withdrew from the bargain with feelings of dis-
trust of the Order in general, and your committee in par-
ticular. . . Your committee therefore resolved to
suspend its efforts in this direction until a proper com-
prehensive plan could be devised and set in motion. . .
The system of agencies as appointed and controlled
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 107
by Granges, is inefficient and unsatisfactory. A State
Executive Committee appoint an agent in a distant city,
and so inform their Subordinate Granges; but for want
of cash, the efforts of antagonistic interests, lack of con-
fidence, and probably more than all these, the failure to
effect combined co-operative action, the agent is not sus-
tained, and the business progress of the Order suffers
greatly in consequence. . . The necessity for estab-
lishing purchasing agencies is imperative. Subordinate
Granges all over the country demand a full development
of this branch of our work. But the question arises, how
can it best be effected? Your committee suggest that
a purchasing agent should be established by the Na-
tional Grange in each of the three commercial centres -
New York, Chicago, and New Orleans. These agents
should receive competent salaries, and be subject to the
control and supervision of the National Grange, and act
as representatives of the Order. Agents for the dispos-
ing of produce should more properly be under the con-
trol of the State Granges.
Statistical Reports. At its last session the General
Grange adopted the report of the Committee on the
Good of the Order, recommending a system of statistical
crop reports, and committed the subject to the Executive
Committee. Your committee, having carefully delib-
erated upon a system, issued 16,239 circulars to the
Subordinate Granges, advising them of the proposed
project, pointing out its mutual importance and solicit-
ing their fraternal aid and co-operation. These circu-
lars also comprised blanks to be filled with approximate
information as to the area planted in 1873, the acreage of
1874, the amount and market value of products on hand,
April 15, 1874, and contained instructions how to re-
ply to these and other inquiries relative to twenty-five of
108 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
the leading products of the United States. . . By the
first of May, 2,865 replies were received, vastly the ma-
jority of which were accompanied by lengthy epistles,
containing advice, complaints, suggestions, encourage-
ment, and caustic criticism. Granges in the extreme
north charged inconsistency, for asking about the area
of 1874 when the earth was still deeply frozen; those of
the extreme south replied that they had nothing on hand
by the fifteenth of April, and those in the vicinity of
cities complained that their specialties were ignored.
These returns were compiled and issued as a report by
the tenth of May, accompanied by a second blank con-
taining a list of forty-two marketable products, and a
separate sheet of minute instructions how to fill up the
report, with the usual post-paid and addressed return-
envelope. This blank repeated the inquiries in the for-
mer blank, with the additional inquiry as to the condition
of crops on the fifteenth of June, 1874, and each Grange
was urged not to delay their reply later than the twenty-
fifth of June, as the information to be disseminated must
be speedily compiled and promptly issued to be of any
practical benefit. . . By the first of July, 3,157 returns
were received and compiled, though many hundreds con-
tinued to drop in through that month. Very few of these
reports were concise and satisfactory. . . By the fifth
of July, the report, with additional sheets of explana-
tions and instructions, was issued to 19,152 Granges, and
replies solicited not later than the fifteenth of August.
The information asked for in this series of blanks per-
tained more particularly to the condition of crops on the
fifteenth of August, and the price of lands, whether for-
est or arable, swamp or prairie, up or low lands. By the
first of September, 2,907 returns were received and com-
piled, and a few continued to be received until the first
of October.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 109
In this circular Granges had been requested to state,
as near as practicable, the proportion of the crops grown
by farmers who were not Patrons within their several
jurisdictions. Almost invariably the reply was made,
"We can only tell by examining the assessor's books." 1 1
had now become evident to your committee that the mass
of our Order were not yet prepared to appreciate the
value of correct crop reports. Discouraged by these un-
successful efforts, which were a heavy expense to the
National Grange, it determined to vary the method, and
submit a series of practical questions, which, if properly
answered, would convey such information as would in-
dicate whether the organization was of any real benefit
to the agriculturists of the country. Nineteen thousand,
three hundred and forty-eight sheets containing these
questions were issued with the report compiled from the
returns received by September first, and a request to
return replies by the twenty-fifth of November. To
this 3,283 replies were received, compiled, and the re-
sults mailed to 21,700 Granges. This department is ex-
pensive but its utility is apparent to all who can appre-
ciate the value of statistics as furnishing facts that will
form a basis of action. . .
Implements and Tools. By resolution your com-
mittee were instructed "to give especial attention to fur-
nishing Patrons with tools and implements for the cul-
tivation of our farms at as low a price as a legitimate
business profit will permit." In the endeavor to fulfil
the duties prescribed in this resolution, negotiations
were opened with manufacturers of farming requisites,
and with many of them terms of agreement were con-
cluded; but for reasons already mentioned further ef-
forts in that direction were abandoned and attention
specially given to secure rights to manufacture leading
no AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
implements, which would become the exclusive property
of the National Grange. . . Following up this line
of action, the following rights have been secured: the
Werner harvester, which, in competitive trials, has
proved to be equal to the best of its kind, and which can
be had at a cost of $140. A combined riding and walk-
ing cultivator, of which the Patrons in Kentucky, after
a trial last summer, say there is no better machine of its
kind. This is furnished for $25. A superior seeder that
can be sold for $40. Also, exclusive control of a sulky
spring- toothed hay rake. Cost, $25. An arrangement
has been made with the Climax Manufacturing Com-
pany for a combined self-raking reaper and mower, at
a cost of $145. Additions to these are in progress, and it
is hoped that the time is not far distant when the Order
will control a full list of all machinery required upon the
farm and plantation. . .
During the month of July last year a letter was re-
ceived from Brother Porter of Nebraska, informing
your committee of the efforts of Patrons in that state to
manufacture cultivators and headers, and that in conse-
quence of not having been able to dispose of the whole
of their manufactures, owing to the lateness of the sea-
son, they were compelled to ask temporary assistance
from the National Grange.
[Donations, ten thousand dollars to sufferers from
floods in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and suf-
ferers from locusts in Minnesota, Nebraska, and Kan-
sas.]
Co-operative Stores. Your committee having been
instructed to devise some safe plan of cooperative stores
for the information of members of the Order, gave
prompt attention to the investigation of this subject, and
while the result of its inquiries has not been, perhaps,
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 1 1 1
sufficiently conclusive to guarantee the safety of a plan,
it has recently published a tract upon the principles and
management of cooperative stores, based upon an ex-
ample that has been in successful operation for several
years in this country. . .
[Committee on Good of the Order (page 62)] Your
Committee also had under their consideration the
resolution introduced by Bro. Davie, Ky., in relation to
the extension of patents by the U.S. government, and is
firmly impressed that unjust and high exactions are
made upon plain and simple inventions by the prolonged
continuance of letters patent, and that often the rewards
of genius and invention are without corresponding bene-
fits to the public. Thus impressed, your committee re-
spectfully return the resolutions and ask their adoption,
and ask to be discharged from the further consideration
of the same. [Adopted.]
[Committee on the Executive Committee's report
(page 70)] . . . Resolved: that the Executive
Committee, or other agents with whom is entrusted the
business affairs of the Order shall withhold the name of
the manufacturer or business house from all circulars
containing price lists, that may be issued from their sev-
eral offices; but that price lists containing the name of a
manufacturer or business house, may be sent to Masters
of State Granges and their appointed business agents,
and to no other person. [Adopted.]
Your committee approve of the suggestions made by
the Executive Committee on the subject of implements
and tools, and recommend their adoption. [Adopted.]
[Committee on Transportation (pages 85, 86) ] Your
committee . . . express it as the sense of this body
that the time has fully come when it is the mission, pre-
rogative, and duty of the government to take such meas-
112 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
ures as will encourage the productive interests of the
nation. The products of the forest, field and mine form
a large portion of the aggregate wealth of the country.
While the government should neglect no other interest,
yet we are of the opinion that the productive industries
have hitherto received too little attention, and we urge
upon our representatives in Congress, the immediate, im-
portant and vital necessity of such action on their part
as will look to providing cheap and rapid means of trans-
portation between all sections of the country and to the
markets of the world. There is one measure however
of such immediate and pressing necessity that your com-
mittee feel compelled to allude to it, viz. the opening of
the mouth of the Mississippi River. In view of the fact
that so large a territory is dependent on this outlet for its
products, we urge upon our legislators the necessity of
taking such measures as will open this river to the com-
merce of the world at the earliest possible moment.
Adopted.
The Committee on the Good of the Order reported,
recommending the general government to extend such
aid to the work of strengthening and re-building the
levees of the Mississippi River, as is consistent with na-
tional prosperity, etc. Adopted.
[Committee on Resolutions (pages 86-87)] • • •
Your committee have viewed with great interest the ex-
pressions of approval and the appeals to Congress to
forward this great work [Texas Pacific Railroad] em-
anating from State Granges and Boards of Trade from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, and are impressed with the
great obvious benefits which would result to this whole
nation by the speedy completion of this road. And as
it is an enterprise too vast to depend alone for its success
upon private capital, equal justice to all sections of our
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 1 13
common country requires the aid of the national govern-
ment to forward this work under proper restrictions and
safeguards insuring the government against loss, and the
people against unjust impositions and discriminations.
Your committee therefore submit the following resolu-
tion:
That this National Grange earnestly invites the atten-
tion of Congress to the necessity of a speedy completion
of the Texas Pacific Railroad, and asks of that body, rea-
sonable aid to the company which has inaugurated this
great national enterprise, under such cautionary restric-
tions and safeguards as the prudence and wisdom of
Congress may devise, to guarantee the government
against loss, and protect the agricultural interests of
every section of the country against unjust discrimina-
tions in the price of transportation. Adopted.
[Committee on Commercial Relations (pages 89-
90)] Your Committee on Commercial Relations thor-
oughly realizing the vital importance of a more economi-
cal commerce both between the western and southeastern
sections of the Union as well as of a more economical
system of international commerce between the producers
of America and the consumers of Europe, than now ex-
ist via New York and Liverpool, ask to make the fol-
lowing report: that the House of Representatives' Bill
No. 3,656, introduced by the Hon. Geo. W. McCrary of
Iowa, in the 43d Congress, last session, asking that a
company, to be styled the Eastern and Western Trans-
portation Company, be incorporated, subject to the laws
of the several states, in which said corporation shall
operate its line of road and telegraphic wires, seems to
lay out a plan and route from which much good may be
achieved, in reducing not only the distance to deep
water on the coast of South Carolina and Georgia, but
ii 4 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
materially the cost of transporting the bulky and heavy
crops of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys to Euro-
pean and South American consumers. As the bill grants
no subsidy or land except a right of way two hundred
and ten feet wide, and as the measure contemplates doing
what is so sorely needed by the people of this country
viz. making the road a public highway and post-road,
we respectfully recommend that your body commend
the memorial of the "Eastern and Western Transporta-
tion Company," praying that the H. R. Bill 3,656 in-
corporating said company be enacted. This company
is applying to the several states interested, for concurrent
acts of incorporation, and for the grant of the necessary
right of way, and privileges, under proper stipulations.
We therefore commend to the attention of this body,
these subsidiary acts, and ask that the local aid necessary
to secure proper legislation be afforded, by the frater-
nity residing in the several states directly interested.
[Yeas and nays demanded; adopted, twenty-one to

(4) Ninth Session, 1875
Proceedings of the Ninth Session of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, Louisville, Kentucky, November 17, 1875.
[Secretary's Report (pages 16-17)] . . . It [the
grange] is the leader of modern associations in admitting
old and young of both sexes. The Masonic Order, con-
sisting of blue lodges, chapters, commanderies, and other
branches of its organization, numbers twelve thousand
nine hundred and thirty bodies on the entire globe; the
Odd Fellows number seven thousand and fifty-one
lodges, encampments, etc., giving a total of nineteen
thousand nine hundred and eighty-one in the whole
world; and those Orders have existed for centuries;
while at the outside we have but eight years' growth,
and have issued twenty-four thousand two hundred and
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 1 1 5
ninety charters, confined to the United States alone. We
stand far in the lead of any other association. . .
During the three years past there have been upward of
three thousand deputies at work reporting directly to
our office. . . State secretaries this year report a
total paying membership of seven hundred and sixty-
two thousand two hundred and sixty-three, while the in-
crease of new Granges for the past month has been
ninety-two. . . How much of the resources of the
National Grange have been spent during the past three
years in diffusing knowledge? Are we not losing sight
of our ultimate object? Co-operation in buying and
selling seems to absorb the attention to the exclusion of
every thing else. Ought we not as representatives of
this grand body of American farmers do more toward
the education of the people by means of tracts and com-
petent lectures?
[Executive Committee (pages 19-22)] . . . We
find many of our grange agents doing business on the
usual commission system, differing in nothing from or-
dinary commission merchants, except perhaps in some
instances at a slightly less commission; that in general
there is no co-operation among these agencies, but on
the contrary the usual jealousy which obtains among
rivals, which is contrary to the genius of our institution,
and its consequences very damaging to our Order.
We submit that the commission system applied to
our Order is false in theory, unjust to our members (as
no distinction is made so far as we are informed be-
tween the members and those not members), and that
under this system, instead of building up our Order, we
are building up commission merchants under our aus-
pices, perhaps to assert their independence of us when-
ever it may suit their interest or convenience. Where
n6 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
the agents are receiving a stated salary from the treas-
urers of the State Granges, we find they are doing more
and better, and have the confidence of our members to
a much greater extent. . .
The disposition among our members to inaugurate
manufactories and to increase the products of the soil,
the forest, and the mine, in the different sections of our
country is well known. The wisdom of such a policy is
evident. To facilitate the progress of such worthy en-
terprises we have employed much of our time in visiting
the machine-works and mill-works of New England and
other sections of the country, obtaining estimates of the
cost of machines for such manufactories as we know
are suited to our people and desired by them, valuable
statistics in this connection; making terms for mill and
other machinery, as we have heretofore done for farm-
ing implements; negotiating with skilled mechanics,
operative artisans; presenting to capitalists in the east
information of the great undeveloped resources of the
west and south, inviting them to at least "come and
see." . .
[Following is the first murmur of what is to-day the
inspiration of the really large farmers' organizations:]
[Page 54] The Committee on Good of the Order, to
whom was referred the preamble and resolutions [by
Montgomery County Grange No. 7, Maryland] urging
the adoption of such measures as will fix the prices of the
products of our farms, has well matured the same, and
are of the unanimous opinion that such action at this
time would be hasty, as in a large portion of our country
the crops are mortgaged to others for advances to make
the crops, and it would be a violation of good faith to
withhold the crops. Such a state of things indeed is un-
fortunate-yes, deplorable -but too true; and your com-
mittee earnestly recommend that in pitching the next
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS vrj
crop our brothers generally should so plant as to enable
them, if possible, to control their crops. When this is
done the measure suggested will be wise; and farmers,
like all others, should have something to do in fixing
the prices of these products. [Adopted.]
[Committee on Co-operation (page 141)] RESOLVED,
that the National Grange recommend that each state
appoint, through its proper authority, one general busi-
ness agent, who shall be a member of our Order. Such
agent shall give such a bond as his State Grange or its
Executive Committee may deem necessary to cover all
liabilities, and shall make such terms and negotiations
for the Patrons of his state as the interests of the Order
demand, under the direction and supervision of the
proper authority of his state. Said agent shall exchange
confidential price-lists with the business agents of other
states at least once a month, together with a statement
of the best freight-rates obtainable, as near as prac-
ticable, and shall buy and sell, or cause to be bought and
sold, for the Patrons of other states on the same terms as
for his own. [Adopted.]
[By Lang, of Texas (page 152)] RESOLVED, that it
is the sense of the National Grange that a state legisla-
ture has no power to grant vested rights of an uncondi-
tional character to individuals or corporations, to em-
power them to throttle or clog the commercial highways
of the country, and the people themselves are incapable,
as a sovereign body, of parting with the right to resume
concessions of public franchise to private corporations.
[Adopted.]
[Page 162] Whereas, all donations by Congress,
together with the expenses and support of the Federal
Government of these United States, are made up of the
contributions of all the people; and
WHEREAS, the public domain of our common country
1 1 8 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
is an inalienable heritage in which every American citi-
zen has an interest; therefore be it
RESOLVED, that neither money nor lands belonging to
the people can, in equity or of right, be appropriated by
Congress to aid private speculations, either of individ-
uals or corporations, without reserving the right of con-
trol over the same.
Resolved, that the Congress of the United States be
and it is hereby requested to pass a law at the next session
thereof, affirming the right of the several states to reg-
ulate the rates of freights and fares on railroads.
[Adopted.]
(5) Tenth Session 1876.
Proceedings of the Tenth Session of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, Chicago, Illinois, November 15 1876. In the effort to
exclude politics the Grange gradually returned to the original objects
of a social and educational society. Political questions were taken up
by the Farmers' Alliance. The Grange also abandoned much of its
business activities; most of its agencies failed; only a few stores sur-
vived ; and it did not attempt to regulate prices.
[Secretary's Report] . . . The tables show as
follows: Eight hundred and eighty-five new Granges
have been organized during the past fiscal year, and
24,800 since the origin of the Order. Of this number
650 have surrendered their charters. Five hundred and
fifty have had their charters revoked at the National
office. Seven thousand are known to be delinquent in
payment of dues to their respective State Granges for
one quarter or more. Eight hundred have consolidated
with other Granges. Leaving 15,800 paying Sub-
ordinate Granges, and a total paying membership of
550,000 in the United States. This shows an apparent
diminution of numbers since last year; but it must be
remembered we then counted all, whether active or dor-
mant, paying or delinquent. The Order is without
doubt stronger than twelve months ago. The useless
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 1 19
and inactive members have retired, and today we count
in round numbers 550,000 men and women, a paying
membership, ready to assist you in whatever good work
your wisdom may design.
[By Bro. Davie, Ky. (pages 23-24)] WHEREAS,
it is universally admitted by all men that agriculture is
the true basis of individual and national prosperity;
therefore, its due encouragement should enlist the sym-
pathies and endeavors of every citizen of every class;
and, whereas, the agricultural masses compose at least
one half of the population of the free states of America,
upon whom ultimately rest the taxes which sustain the
government; and, whereas, the political affairs of the
government for a hundred years past have from the very
nature of things been chiefly in the hands of the pro-
fessional, manufacturing, and mercantile classes, which
always have, do now, and will always in future look
wisely to their special interests, in adjusting govern-
mental burdens, or securing the tender regard of the
government towards themselves, and, whereas, it is the
duty of wise and just legislators to see that the blessings
and burdens of government are shed or laid with im-
partial rule upon all classes alike; and, claiming for
ourselves no more than the happiness, wealth, and gen-
eral prosperity of every citizen, we seek to share in the
due and proper encouragement of American agricul-
ture; therefore,
RESOLVED, that American agriculturists demand that
they shall be recognized as a real factor in this govern-
ment by the establishment of a bureau of agriculture, to
be presided over by a cabinet officer, who shall organize
the same upon a plan to be devised by the wisdom of
Congress, which shall embrace to the fullest the agricul-
tural interests of 20,000,000 of the people, and whose
120 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
counsel and advice shall have due weight accordingly to
the same on matters affecting the agricultural people and
also our public affairs generally.
RESOLVED, that we unite as agriculturists in one com-
mon cause to secure this object from Congress and the
Chief Executive without regard to political affiliation,
and that the Executive Committee are hereby instructed
to send this preamble and resolutions to each member of
the Congress of the United States, and that each State
Grange prepare and sign petitions setting forth our de-
sires for the accomplishment of this object as the very
highest that can engage our common endeavors; and we
do hereby earnestly call upon every Grange in the
United States to give us their assistance, and every
farmer and planter not a Granger, to give his aid; and
furthermore, that the Executive Committee shall com-
municate this preamble and resolutions to every State
Grange, and solicit the co-operation of every Grange in
the United States, and that of every farmer and planter
throughout the land, in such form and manner as to
them may seem best calculated to attain the object set
forth herein. [Adopted.]
[Committee on Education (pages 106-108)] . . .
What do we see on looking around us? Richly endowed
ancient colleges for men to learn the use of their minds,
but not of their bodies -where they may learn to be-
come lawyers, doctors, ministers, professors of every
thing in which the use of the hands is ignored, and
where, moreover, they learn to despise bodily exertion
and those who "earn their bread by the sweat of the
brow." The wants of the city have raised commercial
schools, academies of music and of art. . . Fourteen
years ago, Congress decided upon and perfected a plan
for the establishment of an agricultural college in each
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS m
state. Since that time, some of the states have established
agricultural colleges as separate and distinct schools,
while others have united their funds with other schools,
or universities, and made the agricultural feature more
or less subordinate to the demands of other branches of
knowledge.
More or less success has attended these schools, but it
is the opinion of your committee that the farmers of our
country have not taken that interest in those schools, or
given them that support, which they needed to make
them serve the important ends for which they were
established.
We, therefore, recommend to this National Grange
that the question of agricultural colleges be fully dis-
cussed at this meeting, in order that we may learn our
duty to these schools, and, through the State and Sub-
ordinate Granges, call the attention of the farmers of
the country to their importance.
In connection therewith we offer the following res-
olutions:
WHEREAS, the proper education of our children is a
matter of the greatest consequence to us as citizens; and,
whereas, the development of the sciences underlying
agriculture, and the thorough instruction of our people
in the best practical methods of cultivating, saving, and
marketing our several foreign products, is of the greatest
importance to us as farmers; and, whereas, the Congress
of the United States did, in the year 1862, make a dona-
tion of lands for the founding of colleges for instruction
in the science and in the practice of agriculture; there-
fore,
RESOLVED, that this Grange, the national head of the
great organization of farmers, do appoint a standing
committee of three members, to be composed of the
122 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
Worthy Master and two members, to be called a Com-
mittee on Education, whose duty it shall be to inquire
into the use made of the donations of Congress, above
named, in the several states, to inquire what colleges
have been established under the said act, what donations
have been made to said colleges other than the donations
of Congress, and what success they have attained in the
prosecution of the work proposed to them in the law
creating them, and, in general, to look over the whole
ground of agricultural education and to report to this
body, at its next session, what has been done and what
ought to be done.
RESOLVED, that the several State Granges be requested
to appoint committees to consider these matters in their
own states and to co-operate with the committee of this
body proposed by these resolutions. . . [Adopted.]
[By Ryland] RESOLVED, that it is the sense of the
National Grange, representing the great farming class
in the United States, that the agricultural colleges ought
to be under the exclusive control of the farmers of the
country, and that it is evident from the experience of the
past that these colleges ought to be, as far as possible,
separate and distinct schools, where science, as applied
to agriculture, may be taught to farmers' children, fit-
ting them for the high calling of farmers. [Adopted.]
[Executive Committee (pages 109-111)] . . .
During the past year in some sections lukewarmness has
prevailed; in others, irregularities from an improper
appreciation of the scope and philosophy of our Order
have crept into our ranks, and discouraged rather than
encouraged our members; but in many sections of the
Union the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry is estab-
lished upon a basis so permanent and practical that your
committee are warranted in giving hopeful assurance of
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 123
our future. . . Your committee have had published
and distributed several thousand copies of the co-opera-
tive rules adopted at the last session of the National
Grange, and recommend that additional thousands be
printed for gratuitous distribution among the Subordi-
nate Granges. . . There is at present no system of
co-operation at all in practice by our Order. State
Agents are appointed, and as soon as their business shows
expansion they yearn for an immense capital wherewith
to control the markets. Stores are established upon a
purely joint stock basis, and at once they are or claim to
be "co-operative." This is all irregular, and it is mere
haphazard if either the agents or the stores are success-
ful.
[Committee on Cooperation (pages 152-154)] . . .
Your Committee on Co-operation have had under con-
sideration the following petitions referred to them on
the subject of establishing Wool and Tobacco De-
pots. . . Your committee instruct me to report: that
while it would afford us the greatest pleasure to be able
to recommend a plan that the National Grange could
adopt that would meet the wishes of our brethren and
give them all desired relief, as yet we are not able to see
a practical solution of the important subjects under our
present system. We learn from our Bro. Blanton, of
Virginia, that the Patrons of that state have a Tobacco
Warehouse at Richmond under their own control, man-
aged solely by Patrons of thei r own selection, under thei r
own regulations, and where all Patrons who choose may
send their tobacco- without regard to state lines-and that
this arrangement is eminently satisfactory to all parties.
Even the inspectors are members of our Order; rates arc
fixed by Executive Committee of State Grange; tobacco
sold by Grange Agent; fees for inspection, sixty-five
124 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
cents per hogshead; for packages under five hundred
pounds, thirty-seven and one-half cents; storage per
hogshead, one dollar, outage, fifty cents, paid by pur-
chaser; drayage, twenty cents per package ; commissions
for selling, two per cent. State Grange Hall in same
building; Secretary's and Business Manager's Office, ex-
hibition rooms for agricultural implements, also in
same building. This only lacks one thing of being a
model of perfection -that of applying the true co-opera-
tive principle. We suggest that the Patrons contiguous
to other important tobacco centers take measures to
adopt the same plan, but on the co-operative principle of
dividing net profits among the customers of the estab-
lishment. We know of no reason why those Patrons in-
terested in the wool product should not adopt the same
plan, or, what would be better, the same plan on the co-
operative principle. [Approved.]
[Pages 159-160] The Committee on the Good of the
Order have had under consideration the preamble and
resolutions offered by Bro. Osborn, of Wis., to wit:
WHEREAS, there are certain objects which are regard-
ed by the members of this Order as essential to their ma-
terial interests, among which are the following, to wit:
1 st. A Department of Agriculture in the National
Government, the head of which should be a member of
the Cabinet.
2d. The enactment of laws providing for a reduction
of the legal rate of interest on money.
3d. The enactment of laws providing for the improve-
ment of natural water-channels.
4th. For the improvement of our patent laws.
5th. For the security of depositors in banks.
6th. For equality of taxation.
7th. For equitable regulations controlling railroad
management. And
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 125
WHEREAS, such objects can not be attained unless fa-
vorable legislation be had from our National Congress.
And
WHEREAS, to secure such especial attention from the
lawful representatives of the people it has become neces-
sary that earnest demands be made upon them by their
constituents. Therefore be it
RESOLVED, that, in order to secure practical results
in the direction indicated, the following course of action,
intended to develop the latent power of our Order for
such purposes, be recommended by this body, to wit:
Forms of petition to Congress for any purpose, or
purposes, he may select, shall, from time to time, be
drawn up by the Master of this National Grange, and
a copy thereof sent by him to the Master of each State
Grange, who, thereupon, will see that copies thereof be
circulated through the Granges of his state and returned
to him for the purpose of being forwarded, with the re-
spectful request for attention, to the Senators and Rep-
resentatives of the people of that state in the National
Congress.
That subsequent thereto, and repeatedly, and as often
as the Master of the National Grange shall deem bene-
ficial, he will draw up a form of circular letter, to be ad-
dressed to the United States Senators and members of
Congress, requesting a report of progress in the desired
legislation, and urging the necessity of action; such
form of circular letter to be sent to the Master of each
State Grange throughout the country, with the request
that, upon a certain day fixed by him (the Master of
the National Grange), copies thereof be forwarded to
the Senators and Representatives in Congress from his
state; and, furthermore, that we, through our Subor-
dinate, County, and State Granges, urge prompt recogni-
tion of our demands, by either favorable or unfavorable
126 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
responses to our petitions, on the part of our public rep-
resentatives.
And would report that the first section thereof, in re-
lation to the establishment of a Department of Agricul-
ture, has already been reported on by your committee and
wisely acted on by the Grange, and recommend that the
remainder of the resolutions do pass. [Adopted.]
(6) Eleventh Session, 1877.
Proceedings of the Eleventh Session of the National Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry, Cincinnati, Ohio, November 21, 1877.
[Executive Committee (page 17)] During the past
fiscal year your Committee have had an opportunity of
examining, and have made much inquiry and investiga-
tion into the system of agencies adopted by the several
states, and are warranted in their judgment in advising
the discontinuance of any one now in existence. Honest
competition is what we want, but not as commission-
houses. There have been more failures than successes
with our Grange agencies, and how long the successful
few are able to maintain themselves is unknown to those
who patronize them. Were they established upon the
principles embodied in the rules promulgated two years
ago by the National Grange, every customer would pos-
sess some tangible evidence of their efficiency, and to that
extent would their permanency and solvency be beyond
question. Your committee would recommend to the
National Grange that they use every effort to encourage
among Patrons the establishment of retail and wholesale
stores upon the strictest principles of co-operation, and
discourage the building up of commissioned or salaried
agencies. . .
[Secretary's Report (page 36)] While it was very
agreeable to see our Order spread rapidly, and every ef-
fort was encouraged to make it the largest society that
ever existed on this continent, and it still holds that rank,
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 127
yet wc must acknowledge there was a premature growth.
Deputies had not been properly schooled, and their work
was hastily performed. A ready speaker had but to de-
liver one address, and he immediately at the same meet-
ing organized a Grange. The next evening he instituted
another in an adjoining town, and so on. Sometimes two
to four applications received at my office have borne the
same date. We all know that such work must be im-
perfect. . . Deputies were allowed full liberty, and
in their speeches made promises as to what the Order
would do, totally unwarranted. Now it becomes our
duty to do all we can legitimately to reduce our num-
bers, by consolidation, revoking of charters, and solicit-
ing the surrender of the feeble ones, until we can get in
each state a suitable number of good, solid Granges, and
commence work fresh on a solid and permanent founda-
tion.
[By Bro. Chambers of Alabama (page 69] The Na-
tional Grange, representing as it does the agricultural
sentiment of every part of the United States, without in-
tending to infringe that feature of its organic law which
forbids the discussion within its fold of any questions of
party politics, believes it to be not only its privilege, but
its duty to give expression to the universal voice of its
membership in condemnation of all such legislation,
either on the part of the general or state governments, as
tends to the injury of the great productive industries of
the country. In this spirit, and with no purpose to take
part in the partizan politics of the country, we do hereby
declare our disapprobation of the law demonetizing sil-
ver, and committing the government arbitrarily to any
fixed day in the future for resumption of specie pay-
ments; and do therefore hereby express our sympathy
with the efforts now being made in the Congress of the
128 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
United States for the repeal of these obnoxious meas-
ures. [Referred to the Committee on Resolutions, rec-
ommended for indefinite postponement, but the Grange
rejected the recommendation, by yeas 18, nays 30; and
adopted the declaration offered by Chambers by votes
of 34 to 9 on the previous question and 30 to 14 on the
main question.]
[Resolutions adopted: patent laws; memorializing
Congress on deepening the Gulf ports, on postal treaties
with Mexico and South American States, and on De-
partment of Agriculture ; favoring ship canal connect-
ing Lake Erie and Lake Michigan.]
(7) Twelfth Session, 1878.
Proceedings of the Twelfth Session of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, Richmond, Virginia, November 20, 1878.
[By Bro. Darden of Mississippi (pages 71, 72) ] We,
the members of the National Grange, desiring to define
the precise objects of the Order of Patrons of Husband-
ry, and place them before the membership of the Order
throughout the Union, do hereby set forth the following
propositions with our distinct declaration of purpose re-
lating thereto.
The industry upon which our Order is based, is agri-
culture- the most important of all industries -the foun-
dation and support of all others -the true basis of all
our national prosperity. We have observed the condi-
tion of our people, and viewed with alarm the encroach-
ments upon their natural rights. While agriculture is
the chief source of wealth, and therefore deserving at
least equal recognition with other avocations, it is de-
prived of its just rewards, and oppressed by methods of
law. It is made to bear grievous burdens not its own.
It is compelled to pay taxes which an equitable distribu-
tion would place elsewhere. It is forced, by wicked com-
binations, to submit to hurtful discriminations against
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 129
its products, both in transportation and in the marts of
sale. Its votaries have been and are now denied that
consideration in public affairs to which the magnitude
and the importance of their calling entitle them.
The laws of the nation and of the several states are so
framed as to divert from our great industry the rewards
which are the incentives to toil, and our earnest remon-
strance against their injustice spurned.
In view of these truths, we are bound, in defence of
our manhood, to assert our rights, and we therefore de-
clare our unalterable purpose to emancipate agriculture
from the burdens unjustly heaped upon it; and the
means by which we shall seek to secure the desirable
ends-
ist. We shall strive earnestly within and without our
Order to extend the benefits of education, which shall
comprise knowledge of public affairs and the methods
of self-government.
2d. We shall demand, by our ballots, admission in the
legislatures of the several states, and in both houses of the
National Congress, for representatives of agriculture,
chosen directly from its votaries, as the only means of
relief.
3d. We shall accord to other industries all the rights,
privileges and immunities which we claim for our own,
and join with their representatives in earnest endeavors
to impress upon the governments of states and nation
habits of wise economy and frugality as essential to the
thrift and prosperity of all the people.
4th. We shall give constant care and attention to the
public schools, in which the youth of the nation are deep-
ly interested, limiting expenditures therefor only by
their usefulness, striving always for that higher and
practical enlightenment which should become the dis-
i 3 o AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY [Vol.
tinguishing feature of a free people. [Amended by
striking out "by our ballots," and adopted (pages 107-
108).]
[Committee on Transportation (pages 96-98)] . . .
The only possible action within the reach of agricultural
producers, so long as they are represented by other
classes in the law-making bodies of this country, state
and national, is the right of petition. The American
farmers, if organized, could, by a system of co-operative
action, attain their full share of influence, and shape the
legislation of this country; whenever they will sever
their relation with the political party organizations that
have heretofore dominated them, and send men from
their own ranks or avocation, agriculture will be re-
lieved from an unjust and oppressive share of the ex-
penditures of the government, and the American farmer
will command the influence which he, in common with
other laborers, is entitled to wield.
The right of petition is left us, and, however humili-
ating, we are forced to avail ourselves of it for the pres-
ent. The accompanying memorial to the legislatures of
the several states represented in the National Grange,
is applicable to and should be sent to the National Legis-
lature. We recommend the memorial be printed and
forwarded to the State Grange of the several states, to
be by these bodies forwarded to county and subordinate
Granges, with a view to general signature by members
of our Order, and then have them forwarded to the im-
mediate representatives in the Legislative and Congres-
sional districts.
The Honorable Senate and House of Represent-
atives of our States and National Legislatures: The
undersigned respectfully represent that the inland ave-
nues of transportation and travel arc under the control
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 131
of corporations authorized by the legislatures of the
states, and are under the management of men who have
combined, as we believe, in an unlawful manner to dis-
criminate in rates of freight to an extent that is injurious
if not destructive of the internal commerce between the
states. . .
This power to injure or destroy the labor of one class
of people, or one locality or section of the country, to
build up individual wealth must come to an end. All
classes engaged in the labor of producing are joined in
this memorial and respectfully ask of our legislatures
and the Congress of the United States to enact general
laws, prohibiting unjust discrimination and to regulate
the rates of freight and passage by any corporation en-
gaged in transportation of the products of labor as the
most effectual way to protect internal commerce.
On motion, the recommendation was concurred in.
[By Brother Lang, Texas (page 118)] Resolved,
by the National Grange in session assembled, that it is
contrary to the laws and purposes of the Order of Pa-
trons of Husbandry, for a Grange, either subordinate,
state, or national, to call political conventions, nominate
candidates for political office, or discuss their merits.
[Adopted.]
[Reports and communications were received on the
depressed state of the order. Resolutions adopted: de-
partment of agriculture; system of quarantine; making
manufacturers and sellers, not innocent purchasers, re-
sponsible for infringements of patent rights; instruction
in public schools on insect-eating birds and humane treat-
ment of animals; agricultural instruction in common
schools; against "casting their ballots" for candidates

(8) Thirteenth Session, 1879.
Proceedings of the Thirteenth Session of the National Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry, Canandaigua, New York, November io 5 1879.
[Executive Committee (page 22)] . . . The
present condition of the Order is neither surprising nor
discouraging -it is simply the result of natural laws.
The membership is composed of non-associative ma-
terial. The farmer's vocation of itself tends to isolation,
which has become part of his very life, and from which
this generation will never fully recover. . .
[Committee on Transportation (pages 121 -122)] . . .
The partial relief given us by the national and state
legislatures, is accepted with thanks, as the result of
petition. There is, however, no substantial relief to
the over-burdened farmers of America, in any action
thus far conceded by the legislative authorities of our
government. Thirteen years' experience and associa-
tion in the Grange has satisfied the American farmers,
whom we represent, that their grievances will never be
removed until farmers are elected as representatives to
the law-making bodies of our states, and to the national
legislatures, in such numbers as will constitute those
bodies with a fair share of our people. . . To this
end we recommend farmers to make such alliance, when-
ever representatives to the state legislatures or to the
national legislature are to be chosen, as will enable
them by their votes to elect from their own number an
even handed, fair share of representatives. Acting to-
gether to accomplish this grand purpose is no violation
of their obligation as members of our Order. The as-
sumption of this constitutional right is but the assertion
of our manhood, and we cannot longer be dominated
by party associations which deny us our equality, or sup-

[Pages 123-125] Your Special Committee, raised
"to take into consideration the state and condition of
American agriculture, and to report such measures and
policies as in their judgment will tend to afford relief
from the weights, hindrances and difficulties that may
beset it, and to suggest such methods as will restore to
American farmers greater prosperity and promote their
political and material welfare," have given the subject
such consideration as opportunity and circumstances al-
lowed, and present the following report. . . American
farming is growing less profitable and less encouraging.
In a country possessingso many facilities of cheap pro-
duction this discouraging aspect of agriculture must be
and is the result of other than natural causes. The an-
nual additions of wealth under the enlightened system
of agriculture are enormous, but from the unequal di-
visions of the profits of labor and the unjust discrimina-
tions made against it, the enlistments of property show
that the farmers of the United States are not prospering.
While it is rapidly extinguishing all debts and restoring
an equilibrium to the currency of the country, its vo-
taries are deprived of a just share of the rewards of their
toil. Capital concentrates to make corners and form
rings to fix prices. Transportation companies are al-
lowed to make and unmake prices at will by their unjust
and discriminating tariffs and freights. Subsidies and
tariffs are created to protect other industries to the preju-
dice of agriculture. Commerce is shackled. American
productions are denied the markets of the world through
partial and restrictive laws. Agricultural property is

made to bear an unequal and undue proportion of taxa-
tion to afford exemptions and privileges to other in-
dustries. Monopolies are permitted to assume power
and control and exercise prerogatives and privileges
justly belonging to sovereignty. Encouraged by legisla-
tion and stimulated by power, they have grown dictato-
rial and imperious in their demands, unrelenting in their
exactions, and cruel and unmerciful in their impositions.
Society has become extravagant and is now a heedless
spendthrift of the painful earnings of labor. Govern-
ment has become proud and autocratic, while her toiling
laborers are humiliated in their poverty. States are
lavish and prodigal with the people's money. Cities
and towns grow rich at the expense and impoverishment
of the country. Laws are ingeniously formulated to
make justice tardy and thus tend to encourage crime and
disorder. In view of the well-established fact that the
productive industries must bear the burdens of society,
chief among which is agriculture, the natural nursing
mother of all the occupations, trades, and professions of
our people, it is found that it is over-taxed and over-
burdened with unnecessary, unjust, unequal, and fla-
grant impositions, that a just sense of right would trans-
fer to where they justly belong. The farmers of Ameri-
ca have on all occasions shown themselves to be a pa-
tient and enduring people, and further submission to
wrong and injustice will be a sacrifice of manhood and
exhibition of cowardice. Stirred with a just sense of
right and supported by the integrity of our purpose, the
National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, in the
name and interests of the farmers of the United States,
sternly demand -
ist. That the Department of Agriculture shall be
made an Executive Department, and the Commissioner
a Cabinet officer.
ten] FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS 135
2d. That the Agricultural Department shall be sus-
tained and supported by annual appropriations com-
mensurate with the importance of the great and per-
manent industry it represents.
3d. That commercial treaties shall be made with all
foreign countries, giving to American products equal
and unrestricted intercourse with the markets of the
world.
4th. That governments be administered in a cheaper
and simpler manner, consonant with the conditions of
the people.
5th. That a more rigid economy in the expenditures
of public moneys be re-established.
6th. That the laws shall be plain and simple, to the
end that justice shall be speedy, crime punished, and
good government maintained.
7th. That the creation or allowing of monopolies to
exist is in violation of the spirit and genius of free re-
publican government.
8th. That the tariffs of freight and fare over railroads
and all transportation companies shall be regulated, and
all unjust discriminations inhibited by law.
9th. That taxation shall be equal and uniform, and
all values made to contribute their just proportion to the
support of the government.
10th. That the revenue laws of the United States shall
be so adjusted as to bear equally upon all classes of
property, to the end that agriculture shall be relieved of
the disproportion of burdens it bears.
nth. That the patent laws of the United States be so
revised that innocent purchasers of patent rights shall
be protected, and fraudulent venders alone held re-
sponsible for infringements of rights and violations of
law.
1 2th. That a system of elementary agricultural edu-
136 AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
cation shall be adopted in the common schools of the
country.
13th. That we are entitled to and should have a fair
representation in the legislative halls of the country,
chosen from the ranks of the farmers.
Emphatically asserting our unalterable determination
to support and maintain these principles, we demand
that they shall be incorporated in the laws of the coun-
try for the protection of American agriculture, and in-
voke the aid of the farmers of the United States in their
support, regardless of party affiliations and party man-
dates. To follow the dictation of partizan influences
whilst our earnings are spirited away, and our families
beggared, is a degradation and sacrifice that cannot
longer be endured.
With manly dignity we boldly declare our rights and
interests, and with unwavering devotion will maintain
and defend them on all occasions, and this warning is
defiantly thrown to the world. [Adopted (page 145).]
